Sprinkle the granola at the base of the plate. Place the lettuce leaves, topped with the golden beets  and the goat cheese on top. Sprinkle with freshly cracked mixed pepper corns and a pinch of sumac. Drizzle with the vinaigrette and serve.

Tips
For an additional touch you can caramelise the top of your goat cheese with a blow torch.
Add some dry fruit of choice to your granola like cranberry, fig or barberry( Zereshk).
You can choose to use a fruity balsamic vinaigrette  like a fig or raspberry flavour.
