Servings: persons

1 lb beet, raw
2 tablespoons sherry wine vinegar
2 tablespoons raspberry vinegar or 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 small shallot, finely diced
1/2 - 3/4 cup olive oil
sea salt, lemon pepper to taste
1/2 cup soft fresh goat cheese
1/3 cup sunflower seeds
6 - 8 cups mixed greens
baby spinach and arugula

1
Mix the shallots with the vinegars and let stand while you process the beets and toast the sunflower seeds.
2
Peel the beets and grate them or process them in the food processor until they are of coarsely grated consistency.
3
Toast the sunflower seeds (I stir them up quickly in a hot stainless steel pan and remove them from the pan as soon as they start to brown).
4
Mix the rest of the dressing ingredients with the vinegar/shallot mixture and add half of this to the beets and chill until ready to assemble the salad.
5
Mound the greens loosely in individual dishes, and divide the beet mixture amongst the plates.
6
Dot with goat cheese, sprinkle with sunflower seeds and drizzle more of the dressing on the greens.
