Beet Salad with Mushrooms, Goat Cheese and Arugula
For added texture, top this salad with garlic chips, which are easy to make: Place 1/4 cup thinly sliced garlic and 1/2 cup olive oil in a small sauté pan. Set over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is golden and crisp, about 10 minutes. Using a skimmer, transfer the garlic chips to a paper towel-lined plate and season with salt. If desired, reserve the garlic-flavored olive oil to use in salad dressings or cooking.
