Peel the beets and cut them into 2 inch pieces. Cut the carrots into two-inch segments. Coat the beets and carrots in olive oil. Place them in a roasting pan and roast for one hour at 425º or until they are fork tender.
It’s not necessary, but for added flavor you may want to roast your walnuts alongside your beets and carrots by placing them on a baking sheet and putting them in the over 15 minutes before the beets and carrots are done cooking.
Place a layer of arugula on the bottom of your serving plate.
Next add the beets and carrots on top of the arugula.
Add the crumbled feta cheese to the plate.
Add the (roasted) walnuts.
Drizzle the balsamic vinegar and olive oil on top of the salad.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
