Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap 3 medium beetroots in foil and roast until tender when pierced with a knife, about 45 minutes. Let cool slightly, then peel and slice thinly.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk 2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar, 1 tbsp olive oil, and 0.5 tsp salt to make a dressing. Set aside.
Step 3
Arrange the sliced beetroot on a serving plate, overlapping slightly. Drizzle half of the dressing over the beetroot.
Step 4
Spoon 1 cup ricotta cheese in dollops over the beetroot. Drizzle the remaining dressing over the ricotta.
Step 5
Top with 1 cup arugula and serve immediately. The peppery arugula balances the sweet beetroot and creamy ricotta.
Step 6
Optional: Add a pinch of black pepper or a few chopped walnuts for extra crunch if you have them.
