Beet, arugula and goat cheese salad + Chickpea, avocado and goat cheese salad

Ok so I cannot really take credit for these two amazing sides, but I did put my own spin on them! Also I grilled a ribeye steak for the main dish (super easy)... Low heat 15 min on one side, 10 on the other with whatever your favorite seasonings are.

Beet salad:

3 beets
2 handfuls arugula
2 tbsp goat cheese
juice from 1/4 lemon
1/2 tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper

Microwave beets for 6 min on high wrapped in paper towel and let cool, then peel and slice. Mix with other ingredients.

Chickpea salad:

1 can chickpeas, drained
1 small avocado, diced
1 green onion, sliced
3 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
juice from 1/3 lemon
2 tbsp goat cheese
salt and pepper to taste

You will be fully satisfied with this meal, no guilt!
