120 minutes

This Italian salad is a refined combination of the earthy flavor of roasted beets, peppery arugula, tender Swiss chard, and creamy goat cheese. Its roots lie in Mediterranean culinary traditions where fresh, natural ingredients fully reveal their aromas. Roasted beets acquire a caramelized sweetness that harmoniously complements the slight bitterness of the greens and the softness of the goat cheese. Dressed with olive oil and white balsamic vinegar, this salad becomes a true masterpiece on your table. It is perfect as a light lunch, elegant appetizer, or accompaniment to main dishes. Especially delightful in spring and summer when fresh greens are at their juiciest.
