Ingredients

Salad

5 cups arugula
4-5 assorted fresh beets, sliced into wedges (red and golden)
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
½ teaspoon sea salt
⅛ teaspoon black pepper
⅓ cup red onion, thinly sliced
4 ounces goat cheese (crumbled)
½ cup pistachios (shelled)

Honey Dijon Vinaigrette

⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 Tablespoon dijon mustard
2 Tablespoons honey
¼ teaspoon sea salt
⅛ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Slice off the top of each beet, and then slice off the bottom. Turn the beet flat side down, slice in half and then again into wedges. Leave the peels on since they will be soft and edible after roasting.
Add beets to a small bowl and toss with the olive oil and salt pepper. Place beets onto a baking sheet and into the preheated oven. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
Prepare salad on a large serving platter or bowl. Layer arugula, sliced onion, beets and pistachios. Crumble goat cheese across the top.
Add dressing ingredients to a small bowl. Whisk until fully combined. Drizzle prepared dressing over salad and serve immediately.

Notes

Salad Yields: 4 servings as a side dish and 2 servings as an entree.
Dressing Yields: ½ cup. Double the ingredients if you like extra dressing. Dressing can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Let sit at room temperature and whisk before serving.
Store Separately: Store the beets, greens, and dressing separately. This keeps the greens from getting soggy and helps the flavors stay fresh.
Use Airtight Containers: Pop the beets and any other ingredients into airtight containers. This helps preserve their freshness and prevents them from picking up other odors in the fridge.
Chill Quickly: Get the leftovers into the fridge as soon as possible to keep everything fresh. Leftovers should be good for about 3 days.
