Salad with baked beets and goat cheese

Ingredients:

• 8 medium beet root vegetables, completely clear
• 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 2 teaspoons mustard
• 120 g of arugula
• 1/3 cup toasted, salted almonds
• 120 g soft goat cheese, crumbled

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 200°C.
   
   Wrap the beets individually in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet. Roast them for 50 minutes to 1 hour, depending on size, until a small sharp knife inserted into the center comes out easily. Unwrap the beets and let them rest for 10 minutes, until cool enough to handle.
   
   Peel the beets with a small sharp knife over a piece of parchment paper to prevent staining your cutting board.
2. Combine vinegar, olive oil, mustard, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. While the beets are still warm, cut each beet in half, then cut each half into 4-6 slices and place them in a large bowl. Once the beets are cut, toss them with half the dressing, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Adjust seasonings as needed.
3. Place the arugula in a separate bowl and toss with a generous amount of dressing. Arrange the arugula on a serving platter, then top with the beets, almonds, and goat cheese. Drizzle with additional dressing, if desired, season with salt and pepper, and serve warm or at room temperature.
