Ingredients

4 medium beets, scrubbed and trimmed, leaving about 1 inch of stems attached

For vinaigrette

1 1/4 teaspoons Dijon mustard

2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar

1/4 teaspoon dried tarragon, crumbled

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

For herbed goat cheese

¾ cup of bread crumbs

1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon, crumbled

3/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

8 ounces Montrachet or other soft goat cheese, cut into eight 1/2-inch rounds and chilled to very cold, covered

Flield greens – about 4 cups

Directions

Preheat oven to 4000F.

Wrap beets tightly in foil and roast in middle of oven 1 to 11/2 hours, or until tender.

Unwrap beets carefully and cool until they can be handled. Discard stems and peel beets. Beets may be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Cut each beet into ½ rounds and cover.

Make vinaigrette:

In a blender blend together mustard, vinegar, tarragon, salt, and pepper. With motor running add oil in a stream and blend until emulsified. Vinaigrette may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.

Make herbed goat cheese:

In a bowl stir together bread crumbs, tarragon, salt, and pepper.. Coat each piece of cheese evenly with crumb mixture, pressing gently, and transfer to a baking sheet.

Preheat broiler.

Broil goat cheese about 2 inches from heat until crumbs are lightly browned, about 2 minutes.

In a bowl toss flield greens with vinaigrette, plate the greens –place sliced beets on the greens in a nice pattern, and goat cheese on top of beets and drizzle remaining vinaigrette over beets.
