  Cut beets and carrots into thin slices, using mandoline or sharp knife. (To prevent hands from being stained, hold beets with paper towel or wear rubber gloves while slicing.) Toss arugula with small amount of vinaigrette. Arrange arugula on serving platter. Toss beets, carrots and parsley with desired amount of vinaigrette. Spoon mixture over arugula; sprinkle with walnuts. Season with salt and pepper, if desired. Serve immediately with any remaining vinaigrette.
