One of my favorite salads from Moosewood cookbook. Easy if you use canned beets. I freeze my lemon juice in ice cube trays so I always have some on hand for this salad.

Tips:

Choose the right beets: Look for beets that are firm and smooth, with deep red color. Avoid beets that are bruised or have blemishes.
Roast the beets: Roasting the beets intensifies their sweetness and flavor. To roast beets, preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss beets with olive oil and salt. Wrap beets in foil and roast for about 1 hour, or until tender. Let beets cool slightly before handling.
Use a variety of textures: This salad has a nice mix of textures, from the roasted beets to the crunchy walnuts and creamy goat cheese. You can also add other ingredients for more texture, such as crumbled bacon or roasted chickpeas.
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 easy to assemble the salad when you're ready to serve it.
