Salad

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.

  3. Let the beets cool, then use a paper towel to rub the peel off.
  4. Slice the beets into rounds, then quarter slice the rounds.
  5. Ready your ingredients and skewer the ingredients like an assembly line. Start with two-quarters of beet, a bunch of arugula, then a slice of goat cheese.
  6. Top the salad sticks with chopped walnuts and a drizzle of vinaigrette.
