  3. Once roasted, unwrap the beets and allow to cool for about 10 minutes. Peel the skin off and slice into bite-sized pieces.
  4. Slice the top and bottom of the oranges, peel them, and segment over a bowl to collect juices.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper.

  7. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and sprinkle walnuts on top. Serve and enjoy!
