Sweet beets and creamy goat cheese make a beautiful pairing with the nutty flavor of young greens. Mix up the flavor as you like with fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary. A splash of balsamic vinegar would add a nice twist too. Time-saving tip: Swap in canned beets! Just be sure to rinse them well if you can't find a no added salt version.
Ingredients
- 1 lg. beet, roasted and peeled
1 T. low-fat goat cheese
1/2 c. arugula
2 slices whole-grain bread
Directions
- Slice the beet into thin slices.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat.
- Assemble all the ingredients in a sandwich and grill lightly on both sides until golden and warmed through.
Chef's Practical Notes
Ensure you brown the meat thoroughly; that "crispy crust" is where all the flavor for the gravy comes from.
