Method

Steam or boil 2 colors of beets in separate pots (to retain colors); cook until tender, about 40 minutes. Set aside to cool.


Meanwhile, prepare the dressing.


Combine the ginger, green onion, zest, lemon juice, garlic, oil, and vinegar in a blender and process until smooth.


Use your hands or a paring knife to peel the skin from the chilled beets, then slice into 1/2-inch pieces.


Divide the arugula evenly between 4 salad plates.


Alternating colors, overlap beets in a ring around arugula.


Place sprouts in the center of the ring and top with sesame seeds.


Drizzle with dressing just before serving.
