Ingredients

  • 5 large cooked beets mix of red & yellow
  • 1 large log plain goats cheese
  • ½ tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • ½ tbsp fresh lemon zest
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • 1 cup arugula
  • balsamic glaze or olive oil & vinegar
  • sprinkle toasted sesame seeds

Toppings

  • honey & balsamic drizzle
  • goat feta fresh burrata or ricotta
  • fresh sprouts
  • flowers

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°. Wash and wrap your beets individually in tinfoil and place them on a baking sheet. Roast for 75 minutes, poke with a fork to check if they are soft! Allow them to cool slightly, then rub the skin off and slice into wedges or cubes! Set aside.
  • Place your goat cheese in a bowl and add in your lemon juice and zest, and honey! Using a hand held mixer or food processor whip until creamy & smooth! I do about 3-4 minutes! Place your whipped cheese in the center of your serving dish, and spread it out towards the edges using a spatula or spoon!
  • Toss your arugula in your balsamic glaze, or a little olive oil & vinegar, and sea salt! Place in the center of your spread out goats cheese. Now top with your beet cubes or wedges. Add a drizzle of honey and balsamic glaze here! As well as a sprinkle of sea salt!
  • Now top with your toasted sesame seeds, sprouts, goat feta or your choice of cheese! & of course pink flowers if you have some! Serve with fresh bread or crackers or eat as is!
