Ingredients

4 medium candy striped beets

Dressing:

1/4 cup olive oil
2 ounces balsamic vinegar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 cups arugula
1/4 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup goat cheese, crumbled

Directions

In a pot of cold water, place beets and then bring to a boil. Allow pot to simmer until the beets are tender but still have slight resistance in the centers. This will take 8 minutes. Peel the beets and slice.

In a small bowl whisk together olive oil and balsamic. Season with salt and pepper.

In a separate larger bowl, toss arugula, beets, pecans and goat cheese. Drizzle them with dressing and serve.
