Directions: Wash beets well, then wrap in foil. Place in oven on 400 degrees for 1 hour or until soft. Unwrap beets and remove the skin - it will easily peel off after being cooked. Cut beets into 1 inch cubes. On a serving plate put a layer of arugula. Top with beet and sprinkle with walnuts and feta. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar or your favorite premade vinaigrette dressing.
