Servings: 6 to 8

Ingredients

For the Vinaigrette

• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1½ tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1½ tablespoons minced shallots
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
• ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

For the Salad

• 10 ounces mixed greens
• About ½ lb vacuum-packed roasted beets, cut into wedges (see note)
• ½ cup walnuts, coarsely chopped
• 3 ounces goat cheese

Instructions

For the Vinaigrette

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, shallots, salt and pepper. Whisking constantly, slowly add the oil in a steady stream. (Alternatively, add all the ingredients to a jar, cover with the lid, and shake vigorously to blend.) Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

For the Salad

1. Place the greens in a large bowl, drizzle with about half of the vinaigrette and toss to combine. Add as much of the remaining vinaigrette as desired and toss again. Arrange the greens on a large platter or divide onto plates, then top with beets, walnuts and goat cheese. Serve immediately.
