3 medium golden beets (1 pound total)
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 to 4 pieces Pickled Rhubarb, thinly sliced on the bias (1/2 cup), plus 2 tablespoons pickling liquid
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill or mint, plus more sprigs or leaves for serving
2 to 3 heads Little Gem lettuce, or 1 to 2 small heads Boston or Bibb lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces (8 cups)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400°F. Scrub beets, then place on a piece of parchment-lined foil. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Wrap in foil and roast until fork-tender, about 1 hour. Let stand until cool enough to handle. Rub off skins and discard. Halve beets and cut into 1/2-inch wedges (you should have 1 1/2 cups).
Whisk pickling liquid into mustard, then gradually whisk in remaining 4 tablespoons oil and dill; season to taste. Toss lettuce, beets, and pickled rhubarb with 2 to 3 tablespoons dressing; season to taste. Serve, sprinkled with more herbs and drizzled with more dressing.
