This stunning winter salad gets its sweet, earthy flavor from roasted beets and balsamic vinegar.

Creamy goat cheese and peppery arugula add color and balance, while toasted walnuts add crunch.

A mandoline is the best way to get thin, even slices from the roasted beets.

Roast until the beets are very tender when pierced with a knife, about 45 minutes.

initiate 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).

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.
