Ingredients
  

  • 6 small-medium sized mixed beets
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil divided
  • 3 cups arugula or baby greens
  • 4 oz block imported Stilton
  • 1 TB red wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 minced shallot
  • 3 TB chopped pistachios
  • Optional fresh mint chives, or parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a baking pan with foil. Scrub beets and remove any greens or long stems. Drizzle beets with 1 TB olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Wrap each beet individually in foil, place on prepared pan, and roast for 30-40 minutes or until fork tender. Let cool and use the foil wrapping to rub beets and easily remove the skins. Slice into rounds or half circles depending on size.
  • Whisk together remaining 3TB olive oil, vinegar, honey, shallot, and 1/2 tsp kosher salt and a pinch of pepper. Arrange greens and beets on a platter and drizzle with vinaigrette. Place imported Stilton cheese in the center, lightly crumble and scatter over beets. Garnish with pistachios and optional herbs and enjoy!
