  3. Step 3: Toss the beet slices with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp sea salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper, then set aside.
  4. Step 4: In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup sour cream with 2 tbsp prepared horseradish and 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill until smooth and creamy.
  5. Step 5: Toast 8 slices of rye bread until golden and slightly crisp.
  6. Step 6: Spread a generous layer of the horseradish cream on 4 slices of toasted rye, then layer evenly with beet slices and 1 cup baby arugula.
  7. Step 7: Top with the remaining 4 rye slices to form sandwiches and serve immediately.
