Roast the beets: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the beet wedges with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 30-35 minutes, or until tender and caramelized.
Cook the quinoa: Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a medium pot, combine quinoa and water (or broth). Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and let it cool slightly.
Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and honey (if using). Season with salt and pepper.
Assemble the bowl: Divide the cooked quinoa evenly into 4 bowls. Top each with roasted beets, arugula or spinach, crumbled goat cheese, and walnuts. Drizzle with the balsamic dressing.
