Steps:
- Heat the oven to 400. Wash the beets, and while they are still wet, wrap them individually in foil. Put them on a rimmed baking sheet and cook, undisturbed, until you can pierce them easily with a thin-bladed knife, 60 to 90 minutes. Once the beets have cooled, peel them (I like to rub the skin off under running water), and cut them into chunks.
- Put the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat and cook, shaking the pan frequently, until fragrant and beginning to darken, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Rinse and dry the greens and put them in a large bowl; add the walnuts. Combine the oil, vinegar, shallot and Dijon in a jar with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Screw the lid on tightly and shake vigorously until the dressing becomes thick and creamy. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
- Pour some of the dressing onto the greens and toss to coat; pile the greens on 4 plates. Put the beets in the bowl, toss with some of the dressing and arrange them on top of or around the greens. Crumble the goat cheese on top, and serve.

- While the beets are cooking, heat 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Put the flour, eggs and breadcrumbs in separate shallow bowls. Coat the goat cheese slices first in the flour, then in the egg, then in the breadcrumbs. Fry the slices until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Whisk the mustard and sugar into the reserved dressing, then pour over the greens in a large bowl and toss to coat. Divide the greens among 6 plates, add the beets on top and place 2 fried goat cheese slices on top.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).
- Spread walnuts onto a baking sheet and toast in the preheated oven until the nuts turn golden brown and become fragrant, about 45 minutes. Watch the nuts carefully because they burn quickly. Set walnuts aside to cool to room temperature.
- Turn oven up to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Crinkle up a piece of aluminum foil and place it into an oven-safe dish (such as a pie dish) to act as a disposable rack. Place beet onto foil.

Tips:
- Select the Freshest Greens: Choose tender and vibrant salad greens like arugula, spinach, kale, or a mix of your favorites. Look for greens that are crisp and free from wilting or yellowing leaves.
- Roast the Beets to Perfection: Roasting beets intensifies their natural sweetness and brings out their earthy flavor. Toss the beets in olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting them in a preheated oven until tender.
- Use a Quality Goat Cheese: Opt for a creamy and tangy goat cheese that will complement the flavors of the salad. You can use a soft goat cheese for a milder flavor or a firmer goat cheese for a more pronounced tang.
- Make a Simple Dressing: A simple dressing made with olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper will enhance the flavors of the salad without overpowering them. You can also add a touch of honey or mustard for a sweeter or tangier taste.
- Assemble the Salad Carefully: Layer the salad ingredients in a large bowl, starting with the greens, then the beets, walnuts, goat cheese, and any additional toppings. Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving to maintain its freshness.
