Ingredients
-
1 pound red beets, trimmed
-
1 cup balsamic vinegar, divided
-
2 cups loosely packed arugula
-
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
¼ teaspoon ground pepper
-
2 ounces goat cheese, crumbled (about 1/2 cup)
-
¼ cup chopped toasted walnuts
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place a large piece of foil on a rimmed baking sheet; place beets in the center of the foil. Gather the sides of the foil up to make a packet; pour in 1/2 cup vinegar and seal the packet. Roast until the beets are very tender when pierced with a knife, about 45 minutes. Open the foil packet; let cool for 30 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, bring the remaining 1/2 cup vinegar to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, without stirring, until reduced to about 3 tablespoons, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat (the mixture will thicken as it cools).
-
When the beets are cool enough to handle, peel them, then slice very thinly with a knife or a mandoline. Arrange the sliced beets, overlapping slightly, on a platter.
-
Toss arugula with oil, salt and pepper in a medium bowl; arrange on top of the beets. Sprinkle with goat cheese and walnuts; drizzle with the balsamic reduction.
Tips
To make ahead: Roast beets (Step 1) and refrigerate for up to 1 day.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
