- In a blender, add the goat cheese, mint, white balsamic, salt and pepper. Turn blender on and add olive oil by drizzling it through the top of the blender until fully mixed
- Remove beets from the foil and trim tops and bottoms again. Peel off skin with a paring knife and quarter.

- To serve, place a small puddle of vinaigrette in the center of the plate and build the salad on it.
- Garnish with the almonds, white anchovy and parsley
