For the Salad

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and chop beets and sweet potatoes into cubes, toss with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Roast the vegetables for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through until tender and charred.
  3. Prepare the vinaigrette by whisking together balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, Dijon mustard, and maple syrup.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine roasted vegetables and arugula. Drizzle with half of the vinaigrette and toss gently.
  5. Crumble feta cheese over the salad, sprinkle with walnuts, and serve immediately with remaining vinaigrette on the side.
