MâCHE AND RADICCHIO SALAD WITH BEETS AND WALNUT VINAIGRETTE

Mâche and Radicchio Salad With Beets and Walnut Vinaigrette image

Of all the greens I worked with this week, mâche has the sweetest, mildest flavor. It goes nicely with the bitter radicchio, sweet beets and the nutty vinaigrette. Mâche is so delicate that it takes very little dressing.

Ingredients

4 sprigs fresh thyme
4 medium beets
1 cup kosher salt, plus more to taste
Freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
2 medium leeks, white parts only, well washed
1/4 pound haricots verts
1/2 cup walnuts
1/4 pound mache
Sherry Vinaigrette
8 thin slices goat cheese

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place a sprig of thyme on top of each beet, season with salt and pepper to taste, and drizzle each beet with 1/4 teaspoon olive oil. Wrap each individually in aluminum foil. Coat bottom of a small cast-iron skillet evenly with 1 cup salt. Place skillet in oven, and roast beets until tender enough to be pierced with a sharp knife, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Allow to cool, and peel skin off beets by rubbing with a paper towel.
Quarter leeks lengthwise, without cutting through the root end. Tie leeks together in a bunch with kitchen string.
Prepare an ice-water bath. Bring medium pot of salted water to a boil. Blanch haricots verts until tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove haricots verts from pot with a strainer or slotted spoon, refresh in ice bath, and drain. Blanch leeks in same pot until tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain, and cool to room temperature. Cut leeks through the root end, to make eight quarters; set aside.
Heat remaining 1/2 teaspoon olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add walnuts; toast until fragrant. Season with salt.
On individual plates, thinly slice 1 beet per plate with a mandoline. Season beets with salt and pepper. Arrange haricots verts and leeks on top of beets, then add mache. Drizzle vinaigrette over each salad. Place two slices of goat cheese on each salad plate, and sprinkle with toasted walnuts. Serve.

Mâche is sold in different ways - sometimes it comes in a package with soil plugs attached and sometimes you can find it loose, like mesclun. If you're buying it with plugs attached, you'll need 1 1/2 pounds; if you're buying it loose, you'll need 5 ounces.
