Scrub, trim and cut beets in halves. Rinse salad greens; drain well.
Place beets in a saucepan; fill with water to cover.; bring to a boil; cook 20 - 30 minutes, until tender. Drain; cool; cut into cubes. (The beets can also be roasted in the oven for 1 hour at 400 degrees.) In a pinch, chilled, canned beets would work as well.
While beets are cooking, place walnuts in a skillet over medium-low heat; heat until warm and starting to toast; stir in syrup. Cook; stir until evenly coated; remove from the heat; cool.
In a small bowl, whisk together orange juice concentrate, balsamic vinegar and olive oil for the dressing.
Place a large helping of baby greens onto each of 4 salad plates; evenly divide and sprinkle candied walnuts over the greens. Place equal amounts of beets over the greens; top with goat cheese. Drizzle each serving with dressing. Serve.
