This was a great with the roasted chicken I had made. <br />I roasted the beets in the oven separately in aluminum foil. I did't have tarragon or arugula so I substituted basil and romaine lettuce. The flavor combination of the beets with the vinaigrette and goat cheese was so much better than a boring, regular salad.
