Cut the tops of the beets about two inches above the beet itself.

Bring a pot of water to a boil and add salt and white vinegar.

Add the beets to the boiling water and reduce the heat to a slow simmer.

Cook the beets for about 35 minutes, depending on their size.

To warm the goat cheese, place it in the microwave for about 45 seconds at a time, stirring occasionally until it reaches the right consistency, which took about a minute.

Once the beets are cooked, allow them to cool for about 10 to 15 minutes.

Use a beet tool to hold the beet and slice off the ends to avoid burning your fingers.

Peel the skin off the beets using a flat knife.

Slice the beets into quarters or sixths, depending on their size.

In a bowl, combine the sliced beets with a little bit of lemon juice, salt, and olive oil.
