Return pan to a medium high heat. Cook each flatbread in pan until crisp, about 2 minutes on each side. Add additional olive oil if necessary. 4. Combine arugula, lemon juice, olive oil and salt in a bowl. Evenly divide mixture between each flatbread. 5. Top each flatbread with golden beets and goat cheese.
