Roasted Golden Beet Salad

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Step 2

Place each beet on an individual piece of aluminum foil. Drizzle the beets with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Fold into loose packets and place on a sheet pan. Roast the beets for 45-50 minutes until they can be easily pierced with a knife.

Step 3

When the beets are cool enough to handle, use a towel to rub off the skins. Cut the beets into 1/2-inch-wide wedges.

Step 4

Combine the garlic clove, 1/2 cup arugula, white wine vinegar, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a food processor or blender. Puree until smooth and combined. Pour the vinaigrette into a large bowl.

Step 5

Stir the roasted beets into the vinaigrette. Then add 2 cups arugula, scallions, parsley, goat cheese and walnuts, tossing to combine.
