MACHE AND ENDIVE SALAD WITH CLEMENTINES AND WALNUTS
Mache, a delicate green with a mild, subtle flavor, packs quite a nutritional punch, as it is high in omega-3s (as are walnuts) and folic acid. The salad is simple to throw together, but its flavors are complex, with sweet juicy mandarin (or tangerine or clementine sections), crunchy bitter endive and walnuts, soft and almost sweet mache, and vibrant fresh herbs. The recipe will serve 4 to 6 but I admit to eating a good half of this salad when I tested it.

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.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the salad will taste. Try to use organic produce whenever possible.
- Wash your greens thoroughly: This will remove any dirt or debris. You can use a salad spinner to dry the greens quickly and easily.
- Chop your ingredients evenly: This will help ensure that they cook evenly. If you are using a food processor, be careful not to over-process the ingredients, as this can make the salad mushy.
- Dress the salad just before serving: This will help prevent the greens from wilting. You can use a vinaigrette, a creamy dressing, or a simple drizzle of olive oil and lemon juice.
- Add some crunch: This can be done by adding nuts, seeds, or croutons. You can also add some fruit or vegetables that have a crunchy texture, such as apples, carrots, or celery.
- Season to taste: Always taste the salad before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.
