Arugula and Goat Cheese Salad is a classic combination that is both refreshing and flavorful. The peppery arugula is balanced by the creamy goat cheese, while the sweetness of the roasted beets and the crunch of the walnuts add depth and texture. This salad is also a great source of vitamins and minerals, making it a healthy and delicious choice for any meal.
In this article, you'll find three different recipes for Arugula and Goat Cheese Salad. The first recipe is a classic version of the salad, with roasted beets and walnuts. The second recipe adds grilled peaches for a sweet and smoky flavor. The third recipe is a vegetarian version of the salad, with roasted chickpeas instead of goat cheese.
All three recipes are easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. For example, you can add more or less arugula, or you can use a different type of cheese, such as feta or blue cheese. You can also roast the beets and chickpeas ahead of time, which will save you time when you're ready to assemble the salad.
No matter which recipe you choose, you're sure to enjoy this delicious and healthy salad.

ARUGULA SALAD WITH PEACHES, GOAT CHEESE AND BASIL
This simple, quintessential summer salad is a reminder that seasonal ingredients at their very best don't need much fussing (or much cooking at all, in this case). Here, peppery arugula and earthy goat cheese get brightened with juicy summer peaches, but the recipe can be tweaked to suit all seasons: If you can't find ripe peaches, you can use cherries, strawberries, plums, raspberries or even cherry tomatoes in their place.

ARUGULA, PEAR AND GOAT CHEESE SALAD WITH POMEGRANATE VINAIGRETTE
I think this makes a perfect holiday salad. I will be making it for Thanksgiving and will report back. Source: Food52. com / brigidc's. This is her description of the salad. Sweet, salty, tart, crunchy and spicy, this salad has perfect flavor and texture balance. The inspiration was pomegranate molasses, which I learned about when I worked on a Persian food class. I like how the molasses takes the acidic edge off the vinaigrette but it is still tangy and delicious. Be sure to try this no fuss, no muss recipe Recipe #446884 I made my own pomegranate molasses: Recipe #490458 It's easy and can be reduced to make a smaller amount. It can be stored up to 6 months.

ARUGULA, CHERRY AND GOAT CHEESE SALAD
This salad was inspired by a dish billed as Cherries and Goat Cheese on the menu at Westside Tavern in Los Angeles. Even if you're not inclined to add fruits like blueberries and cranberries to salads, this combination could change your mind. Even sweet cherries have a tart edge to them, and the combination of their sweet/tart flavor and juicy but firm texture with the pungent arugula, creamy goat cheese and crunchy nuts works very well.

Slowly add the olive oil, whisking constantly, until the vinaigrette thickens. 4. To make the salad, take the potatoes from the oven and scrape them into a large bowl.
