Ingredients
  • (For the Vinaigrette)
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice and zest of one lemon
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon honey
  • 1 shallot, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup canola oil
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 pound mixed greens, or your favorite salad mix
  • 10 small red beets
  • 1 (-6oz) log fresh goat cheese
  • 1/2 cup finely crushed pistachio nuts, not toasted
  • 1/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 egg beaten with 2 tbsp water

Directions
  1. Heat the oven to 400°F.
  2. Place the beets on a piece of aluminum foil on a baking sheet and make a pouch out of the foil, sealing it tightly.
  3. Bake beets for 40 minutes. Remove from oven and let beets steam for 10 minutes.
  4. Open the pouch and let the beets cool slightly. (This can be done a day in advance.)
  5. Whisk together lemon juice, lemon zest, mustard, honey, and shallot in a small bowl.
  6. Slowly whisk in the oils and season with salt and pepper.
  7. Set the vinaigrette aside.
  8. After the beets have cooled enough to handle, remove and discard the skins and cut into bite-size pieces.
  9. Mix the beets with half of vinaigrette, then mix the salad greens with the rest of the vinaigrette.
  10. Transfer greens to plates and top with beets.
  11. Cut goat cheese log into 6 portions and form the goat cheese into disks.
  12. Using the breading procedure, dust goat cheese disks in flour.
  13. Next, dip in the beaten egg mixture, and then roll in pistachios.
  14. Follow this process with all six goat cheese disks.
  15. When you are ready to serve, heat 2 inches of canola oil in a small saucepan.
  16. Heat the oil to 350 degrees and deep fry the goat cheese discs until golden brown.
  17. Serve on top of the salad mixture.
  18. To garnish, add a few chopped pistachios and drizzle with more honey.
