BEETS AND GOAT CHEESE ON A BED OF SPINACH



Beets and Goat Cheese on a Bed of Spinach image

I was inspired by Wolfgang Puck's iconic goat cheese and beet napoleon to make something similar, but decided on a dish that is much less elaborate. If you have time to spare, you could stack the beet slices and goat cheese rather than crumbling the goat cheese over the beets.
