Description

Beautiful layered stacks of roasted beets, creamy goat cheese, and peppery arugula, drizzled with a tangy walnut thyme vinaigrette.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 4 medium beets, roasted, peeled, and sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
  • 8 oz goat cheese, softened
  • 4 cups baby arugula
  • 1/2 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Wrap beets in foil and roast until tender, about 45-60 minutes. Let cool, then peel and slice.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, thyme, salt, and pepper to make the vinaigrette.
  3. On each plate, layer beet slices, a dollop of goat cheese, and a handful of arugula, repeating to form stacks.
  4. Drizzle stacks with walnut thyme vinaigrette and sprinkle with toasted walnuts before serving.

Notes

You can customize the seasonings to taste.
