Beet and Orange Salad with Walnuts

Preheat oven to 400°. Trim ends of beets. Divide beets between two 10-inch pieces of heavy foil. Drizzle each with 1 tablespoon water. Fold foil over beets; fold ends to seal. Place packets on a large baking sheet. Roast until beets are tender and easily pierced with a knife, 50 to 60 minutes. Carefully open packets to avoid the steam that escapes. When cool enough to handle, peel beets by rubbing them with a paper towel. Chop into cubes.

Meanwhile, toast walnuts in a dry skillet over medium until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Let cool.

Cut tops and bottoms off oranges. Cutting from top to bottom, use a small knife to cut off peel and pith from the sides. Working over a bowl to catch juice, cut between orange segments and membranes to release segments into the bowl. Squeeze the membranes over the bowl to extract any remaining juice.

For dressing, carefully pour juice from the bowl with orange segments into a separate bowl. (You should have about 3 tablespoons juice.) Whisk in vinegar, honey, salt and pepper. While whisking, slowly pour in olive oil and continue whisking until emulsified.

Just before serving, gently combine beets, oranges, walnuts and parsley in a shallow bowl or platter. Add dressing and toss to combine. If desired, crumble goat cheese over salad.
