Ingredients

- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 cups arugula
- 4 ounces goat cheese
- 0.5 cup walnuts
- 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wash and trim the beets, leaving the skins on. Wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet.
Step 3
Roast the beets in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
Step 4
Once the beets are cool enough to handle, peel their skins off using your hands or a paper towel. Slice the beets into wedges and set them aside.
Step 5
In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the walnuts for 2-3 minutes until they are fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
Step 6
To make the vinaigrette, whisk together the sherry vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season the dressing with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
Step 7
In a large salad bowl or on individual plates, arrange the arugula as a base.
Step 8
Top the arugula with the roasted beet wedges, crumbled goat cheese, and toasted walnuts.
Step 9
Drizzle the sherry vinaigrette over the salad just before serving.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy this colorful and flavorful beet salad!
