Ingredients

3 medium golden beets, trimmed
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt

Combine rind, juice, black pepper, salt, and shallot in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk. Let stand 10 minutes. Gradually add oil, stirring constantly with a whisk. Place arugula in a large bowl. Add 2 tablespoons juice mixture to arugula; toss to coat. Add beets to remaining juice mixture; toss to coat. Place arugula mixture on a platter; top with beet mixture, avocado, and feta.
