Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Trim beets and wash them thoroughly.  Then dry slightly but while still wet wrap individually in tin foil. Put in oven for around 45 minutes.

Meanwhile toast walnuts by putting them in a frying pan (dry) on medium heat for about 5 minutes until they brown slightly and smell.  Stir occasionally to make sure they don't burn.

When beets are done, let cool slightly and then peel and chop.  You can let them return to room temperature or put them in the fridge to speed things up.  Mix with toasted walnuts, crumbled goat cheese, and chopped parsley.  Any dressing will do, but a simple dijon vinaigrette is a good choice.
