Earthy beets, peppery arugula, rich pine nuts, and creamy goat cheese unite in this salad that would be a welcome start to any meal. The French call fresh creamy goat cheese chèvre. You can find it sold in logs, rounds, or tubs in the cheese section of most grocery stores these days. It is both creamy and crumbly with a distinctive grassy tang and can be found coated in spices, herbs, or even edible ash. Once open, goat cheese keeps just a week or two in the refrigerator.
