Begin by preheating your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Wash the beetroot thoroughly, pat them dry with a kitchen towel, and wrap each one individually in aluminum foil.
Place the wrapped beetroot onto a baking sheet and roast them in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes or until tender.
While the beetroot is roasting, prepare the dressing by whisking together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.
Once the beetroot is cooked and cooled enough to handle, peel off the skins using gloves to avoid staining your hands.
Cut the peeled beetroot into bite-sized wedges and set aside to cool completely.
Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently until they are fragrant and golden brown. Set aside to cool.
Assemble the salad by placing the arugula on a serving platter or large bowl.
Scatter the beetroot wedges over the arugula, then crumble feta cheese and sprinkle over the salad.
Add the toasted walnuts on top and drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
