INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Wrap beets tightly in foil and roast in
middle of oven 1 to 1 1/2 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 8 wedges and cover. To 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. Cut each cheese round in half crosswise.
Coat each piece of cheese evenly with crumb mixture, pressing gently,
and transfer to a baking sheet. Goat cheese may be prepared up to this
point 1 day ahead and chilled, covered loosely. Let cheese come to
room temperature before proceeding. Preheat broiler. Broil goat
cheese about 2 inches form heat until crumbs are lightly browned,
about 2 minutes. In a bowl, toss watercress and onion with half of
vinaigrette. Arrange watercress mixture, beets, and goat cheese on 8
salad plates and drizzle remaining vinaigrette over beets. Yield: 8
