This recipe serves: 4
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 1 hour

For the vinaigrette:
2 teaspoons finely chopped shallots
4 teaspoons red wine vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper

For the salad:
2 medium beets, unpeeled
2 cups red or green lettuce leaf, washed and torn into bite-size
pieces
1/4 cup goat cheese

For the vinaigrette: Place all the ingredients in a blender. Blend on
high speed to combine. Adjust the salt and pepper to taste.

For the salad: Preheat the oven to 350 F. Wrap the beets in aluminum
foil. Roast in the oven until tender, about 1 hour. Peel the beets when
they are cool enough to handle but are still warm. Cut into wedges. Toss
the beets with half of the vinaigrette. In another bowl, toss the greens
with the remaining vinaigrette. Arrange the greens on a serving plate.
Place the beets on top of the greens. Crumble the goat cheese and sprinkle
over the top of the salad.
