Delicious! I used Ben's sub for raspberry vinegar except used balsmatic instead of white wine. i also forgot the oil entirely and didn't notice until I came to write this note! Will be making this again!
Delicious! For those wondering the same things I was: 1 bunch arugula == 7oz. I replaced with 6oz (170g) of spinach, since there were no stems to remove. Raspberry vinegar substitute: 4 Tbsp white wine vinegar + 1/2 Tbsp raspberry jam (or even strawberry jam), gently warm and whisk together. I used small beets so cooking time was only ~20 minutes. Chevre == Goat Cheese. Flavors were great, really liked the toasted walnuts in it.
I followed the recipe except for the dressing. i didn't have walnut oil so I used more olive oil and a bit of honey. It was a good result. The recipe is a keeper.
