Beet and Goat Cheese Salad

This salad made frequent appearances on our dinner plates this summer.  I think the inspiration may have come from here on Simply Recipes, as many of our meals are taken from or inspired by what we see on that website.  

The greens and beets came from our CSA, and the goat cheese came from one of the creameries at the Olympia Farmer's Market.  

Fresh beets.

Aren't they pretty on the inside?

After boiling, the skins peel right off.

I see lettuce, kale, and chard, though there might be more things in there as well.

Goat cheese covered in herbs.

We dressed the salad with a lemon garlic vinaigrette, and topped it with the beets, goat cheese, toasted almonds, and chives.  Yum!
