Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Wrap the beets individually in aluminum foil and place them on a sheet pan. Roast them for 50 minutes to 1 hour, depending on their size, until a small sharp knife inserted in the middle indicates that they are tender. Unwrap each beet and set aside for 10 minutes, until cool enough to handle. Peel the beets with a small, sharp knife over a piece of parchment paper to prevent staining your cutting board.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the vinegar, olive oil, mustard, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper and set aside. While the beets are still warm, cut each one in half and then each half into 4 to 6 wedges and place them in a large mixing bowl. As you're cutting the beets, toss them with half of the vinaigrette (warm beets absorb more vinaigrette), 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Taste for seasonings.
- Place the arugula in a separate bowl and toss it with enough vinaigrette to moisten. Put the arugula on a serving platter and then arrange the beets, almonds, and goat cheese on top. Drizzle with additional vinaigrette, if desired, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

Tips:
- Choose the best beets: Look for beets that are small to medium in size, as they tend to be more tender and flavorful. Avoid beets that have blemishes or bruises.
- Roast the beets: Roasting the beets intensifies their natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast them whole or cut them into wedges. To roast the beets, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and toss the beets with olive oil and salt. Roast the beets for 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Use a good quality Grand Marnier: Grand Marnier is a key ingredient in this salad, so it's important to use a good quality brand. Look for a Grand Marnier that is at least 40% alcohol by volume.
- Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing for this salad can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. This makes it a great option for a quick and easy weeknight meal.
- Add some crumbled goat cheese or feta cheese: For a richer and more flavorful salad, add some crumbled goat cheese or feta cheese. This will also add a nice contrast in texture to the salad.
Conclusion:
This beet salad is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for any occasion. The roasted beets are sweet and flavorful, and the Grand Marnier dressing adds a sophisticated touch. This salad is also very easy to make, and it can be made ahead of time. So, next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious salad, give this beet salad a try!
