Spread nut mixture on parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Cook in preheated oven for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until golden. Mixture will become crisp as it cools. Chop cooled mixture.

To make the vinaigrette, combine all ingredients in a glass jar: shake well.

Preheat oven to 375 F. Wrap beets individually in foil. Bake in preheated oven for about 50 minutes or until tender. Open foil and let cool until cool enough to handle. Peel skin from beets and discard. Cut beets in large chunks.
