This simple, flavorful Balsamic Beet Salad with Arugula, Goat Cheese and Walnuts is ideal for lunch or a light supper. Genuinely a rancher's market top choice!
It wasn't until I hitched my better half and was re-acquainted with them to by my in-laws that I began to like them. My in-laws cooked them constantly, exploiting all the nearby produce we have directly in our town.
Nowadays they are one of my most loved vegetables. Every one of the three of my children like them. On the off chance that our CSA has them on some random week, they are going in my crate.
Now and then we eat them plain; here and there I grind the stripped, uncooked beets into a green plate of mixed greens. I additionally incidentally make a snappy serving of mixed greens of them with escapades, red onion and a simple balsamic vinaigrette. They're very flexible. Be that as it may, my most loved approach to eat them is in this Balsamic Beet Salad.
