  • ½ cup shelled walnuts
  • 1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp plus 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil, divided

  4. Toss with oil to coat and wrap tightly in the foil.
  5. Place on a baking sheet and roast 40 min to 1 hour at 375 degrees F until a fork pierces them easily.
  6. Spread the walnuts on a baking sheet and toast them in the same 375-degree oven for 10 minutes.
  7. Allow the beets to cool enough to handle them and peel by rubbing off the skin.
  8. Slice into ⅜ inch slices.
  9. Sauté greens in 1 tsp oil 1 min. Add balsamic vinegar and beets and sauté another minute.
  10. Top beets and greens with walnuts and goat cheese and serve.
