Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Wrap the 4 beets in foil and roast until fork-tender, about 45 minutes. Let cool, then peel and cut into wedges.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Set aside.
Step 3
In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the 1/2 cup walnuts until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Step 4
In a large bowl, toss the 5 ounces arugula with the dressing until lightly coated.
Step 5
Top with the beets, crumbled goat cheese, and toasted walnuts. Drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with remaining salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
Step 6
For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of honey or Dijon mustard to the dressing if you have them.
