Ingredients

  1. 1 pound beets (about 3 medium), red, gold, striped or a mix
  2. Olive oil, for brushing
  3. Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  4. 1 medium head frisee, cleaned and torn (about 8 cups)
  5. 1 bunch watercress, cleaned and stems trimmed (about 3 cups)
  6. 1/4 cup walnuts, toasted and roughly chopped
  7. 4 ounces goat cheese, sliced or crumbled
  8. 8 long, angled baguette slices, toasted
  9. 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  10. 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  11. 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  12. Freshly ground black pepper
  13. 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  14. 3 tablespoons walnut oil
  15. 1 tablespoon finely minced shallot
  16. 1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme leaves

Instructions

  1. Salad: Heat oven to 400 degrees F Trim beet stems. Put beets on a large piece of aluminum foil, drizzle with olive oil, and seal to make a tight package. Roast beets until easily pierced with a knife, about 1 hour. When cool, peel them (the skins should slide right off with a bit of pressure from your fingers). Cut into wedges or slices.
  2. Dressing: Whisk vinegar, mustard, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Gradually whisk in oils to make a dressing. Stir in the shallot and thyme.
  3. Toss greens, beets and walnuts with dressing. Divide the salad among 4 plates, add goat cheese and serve with toasted baguette slices.
