Roast beets in oven: Wash, remove greens, place on a sheet of foil and wrap well, closing at the top. Place on a pan and roast in a 350 degree oven for about an hour. Open package carefully, let cool. Slip off skin with a vegetable peeler or paring knife. Slice into 1/4 inch slices. Set aside.

In a large bowl, place washed and torn lettuce leaves and red onion. Toss with dressing. Place on platter or serving dishes, sprinkle with goat cheese, arrange beets on either side, strew red onion over the top.

Note: This is an acidic vinaigrette and will wilt a delicate green like these lelttuces. Dress it right before serving! It doesn’t hurt, if you think you’ll only eat part of the salad to dress just a portion of the greens. The goat cheese is also delicate. Don’t toss it in the salad, sprinkle it on top.
