Preparation

  • Make the vinaigrette:In a small bowl, whisk the vinegar, salt, shallots, and thyme. Add the olive oil in a slow stream, whisking to emulsify. Season with pepper and more salt, if needed.
  • Make the salad:Heat the oven to 400°F. Rub the beets with the olive oil, put them on a baking sheet, and bake until fork-tender, 60 to 90 minutes. When cooled, peel off the skin and slice the beets into 1/4-inch rounds.
  • Broil the baguette slices until light golden brown on both sides. Cool. With a hot, wet knife, cut the goat cheese into 8 slices. Put a round of cheese on each slice of baguette and arrange on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with the herbes de Provence, thyme, and pepper and set aside.
  • When ready to serve, heat the oven to 400°F. Bake until the cheese softens, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, arrange a few slices of beets on salad plates. Season lightly with salt and pepper. In a large bowl, toss the greens, haricots verts, and olives with enough vinaigrette to just moisten them. Divide the mixture among the salad plates. Put a warm crouton on either side and serve.

    excellent dressing, roast beets and then toss with some sugar or honey and finish roasting for extra sweet blast if you like. Sherry vinegar is a nice change.

    Very disappointing. In spite of all the great-sounding ingredients, it just didn't come through - it was very so-so.

    VERY UP SCALE.
