instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 400F. Cut off and discard the beets' stems. Put the beets directly on the oven rack and roast until you can easily insert a sharp knife into the center, 45-60 minutes.
2. Once the beets have cooled just a little, peel them using a paper towel. Cut them in half or into quarters, and toss them in a bowl with vinegar and a sprinkling of salt and pepper. Let them sit for up to 30 minutes to absorb the vinegar, then toss with the crumbled goat cheese and olive oil. Taste the salad and add more salt, pepper or goat cheese to taste.
