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.

Remove the foil from the beets and set aside until cool enough to handle. Cut each beet into 6 to 8 wedges.

Tips:
- Choose the right beets: Use fresh, firm beets with deep red color. Avoid beets that are wilted or have blemishes.
- Prepare the beets properly: Trim the greens and roots from the beets, then scrub them clean. You can roast, boil, or steam the beets until they are tender. Peeling the beets is optional, but it's easier to do when they are still warm.
- Make the marinade ahead of time: The marinade for the beets can be made up to 24 hours in advance. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Use good quality goat cheese: Look for a goat cheese that is soft and creamy, with a mild flavor. Avoid goat cheeses that are too tangy or crumbly.
- Make the whipped goat cheese just before serving: The whipped goat cheese is best when it is fresh. If you make it too far in advance, it may start to lose its light and fluffy texture.
Conclusion:
Marinated beet salad with whipped goat cheese is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for any occasion. The beets are sweet and earthy, the goat cheese is creamy and tangy, and the walnuts add a nice crunch. This salad is also very easy to make, and it can be prepared in advance. Whether you are looking for a light lunch, a refreshing side dish, or a healthy snack, this salad is sure to please.
