Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon slivered almonds or sliced
- 1 chioggia beet
- 2 handfuls arugula rocket
- 1 oz goat cheese
For maple vinaigrette
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
Instructions
- Gently toast the almonds in a dry skillet/frying pan or under a broiler/grill. Keep a close eye on them so they turn golden brown but don't burn then set aside to cool.
- Peel the outside layer off the chioggia beet then carefully make thin slices with a mandolin or wide vegetable peeler. Try to make as complete circles as you can but even part slices are good.
- Place the arugula on two plates and top with the slices of beet, crumbled goat cheese and the toasted almonds.
- Shake together the vinaigrette ingredients (oil, vinegar and maple syrup) in a small jar or whisk in a small bowl. Drizzle over the salad and serve.
