6 cups water
1 1/2 cups French lentils
3 medium beets, scrubbed
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/4 cup Olive oil
2 shallots, chopped

1
Bring water and lentils to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer uncovered until the lentils are tender, about 20 to 25 minutes. Drain and put aside to cool in a mixing bowl.

Meanwhile, place beets in a medium saucepan. Add enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cooking until fork-tender. Remove beets from water, and set aside until cool enough to handle. Peel and slice.
3
In a measuring cup, combine the mustard, balsamic vinegar, cider vinegar, salt and oil. Add the shallots. Mix the vinaigrette dressing, lentils and carrots. Cover and place in the refrigerator to chill.
4
When ready to serve, layer the greens, lentil mixture, sliced beets and crumble soft goat cheese over the top.
