Whipped Goat Cheese Citrus Beet Salad

Start by making your dressing. Blend together all ingredients except the olive oil with an immersion blender. Slowly add in the olive oil until blended. You can also use a whisk, you will just need to finely mince the shallot (but it won’t be as creamy).

Next, make the whipped goat cheese. In a small food processor or blender, blend the goat cheese, Greek yogurt, and salt until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Toss the arugula in about 2 tbsp of dressing. Spread the goat cheese on a large plate using a rubber spatula or large spoon. Arrange the beets on the plate and top with pickled onions and arugula. Arrange the orange slices around the top of the salad and top with the pistachios. Serve with another drizzle of dressing and a pinch of kosher salt and pepper. Serves 4 as an appetizer or side.
