    Slice the 2 cooked beets into thin wedges or half-moons. Place them in a large bowl with the 4 cups arugula.

  2. Step 2

    In a small bowl, whisk together the 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

  3. Step 3

    Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat the arugula and beets evenly.

  4. Step 4

    Top with the 0.5 cup crumbled feta and 0.25 cup walnuts. Serve immediately.
