INSTRUCTIONS
FOR VINAIGRETTE
FOR HERBED GOAT CHEESE
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.
