- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the beet wedges on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.

- Sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese and toasted walnuts over the salad.
- Drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette just before serving and toss gently to combine.

Notes
Add fruits like pears, apples, or orange segments for a burst of sweetness.
Swap walnuts for pecans, almonds, or pine nuts for different flavors and textures.
For a more filling meal, add grilled chicken, roasted salmon, or chickpeas for protein.
If you prefer a different dressing, try a lemon vinaigrette, honey mustard, or a creamy dressing to complement the flavors.
