1
Roasting the Beets
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the beets thoroughly and wrap each beet individually in aluminum foil. Place them on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 45-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
2
Cooling and Peeling
Once roasted, remove the beets from the oven and allow them to cool for about 15 minutes. Once cool enough to handle, unwrap the foil and peel the skin off using your hands or a paper towel.
3
Slicing
Slice the peeled beets into thin rounds or wedges, set aside.

4
Mixing the Greens
In a large salad bowl, add the mixed salad greens and cherry tomatoes. Gently toss to combine.
5
Adding Beets
Add the sliced roasted beets to the salad greens and cherry tomatoes.
6
Adding Toppings
Crumble the goat cheese over the top of the salad, and sprinkle the walnuts evenly.

7
Making the Dressing
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper.
8
Drizzling the Dressing
Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving. Toss gently to coat the ingredients evenly.
