The saltiness of the cheese combines nicely with the sweetness of the beets and walnuts in this eyecatching salad; plus, steaming makes peeling whole beets a breeze.

Ingredients
- Water
- 1 pound trimmed beets (about 3 medium), scrubbed well
- 2 cups baby arugula
- ½ cup toasted walnuts
- 2 ounces crumbled ricotta salata
- 3 to 4 tablespoons Champagne Vinaigrette (recipe follows)
Preparation
- 1. Add water to the Steam level in the cooking pot of the Cuisinart® Rice and Grain Multicooker.Insert the steaming tray and put beets onto the tray. Close lid.
- 2. Select the Steam function, set timer for 30 minutes, and press Start (large beets may take up to 35 minutes).
- 3. Once the audible tone has sounded to indicate the end of cooking, open the lid and test the beets for doneness – they should be able to be easily pierced with the tip of a knife. Add additional time if necessary.
- 4. Peel the beets with a paring knife (this is best done while wearing gloves to prevent any staining of your hands); the skin of the beets should easily pull away from the flesh of the beet. Once peeled, cut the beets into small wedges.
- 5. Place wedges into a mixing bowl and toss with the remaining ingredients.
- 6. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired. Serve immediately.
