Ingredients

300g cooked beetroot (fresh or vacuum-packed, not from a jar)
200g log firm goat's cheese , such as Sainte-Maure de Touraine, or Capricorn
4 handfuls small-leaf salad , containing rocket and herbs
1 garlic clove , crushed
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp clear honey
4 tbsp walnut oil

Steps:

Thinly slice the beetroot, either with a very sharp knife or on a mandolin. Arrange overlapping slices over four dinner plates.
Put all the dressing ingredients into a jar, replace the lid, then shake well to mix. Drizzle a little over the beetroot. Slice the goat's cheese into 12 and put 3 slices on top of each serving of beetroot. Toss the salad leaves in a little dressing, then put a small pile of leaves on top of each serving of cheese. Drizzle with the remaining dressing.
