Chunky Beets with Cheese and Arugula

I love the dressing on this salad. It works wonderfully with the beets, arugula, and cheese. Instead of sherry vinegar, I used some wine vinegar with raspberries that I picked up in Prague. The slight hint of raspberries made the sauce even better. The book gives too options for the salad: one with crumbled Roquefort (I used Ciel de Charlevoix) and one with goat cheese and thinly sliced, iced red onions. I think I slightly prefer the blue cheese, but they're both excellent. Next time, I might try her suggestion of tossing with halved grape or cherry tomatoes.
