Ingredients:

Serving

2 medium beets, peeled and cut into 1-inch-thick wedges
3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup hazelnuts , walnuts or pecans, finely chopped
1 4 - oz log goat cheese
1 cup leftover lentils from salmon with lentils
1/4 lb slab or thick-cut bacon, sliced
1 medium shallot, minced
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
pinch of sugar
1 large bunch frisee , torn, or 6 cups baby greens

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 400. Toss the beets with 3 tablespoons olive oil in a roasting pan and season with salt and pepper. Roast until tender, 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, season the nuts with salt and pepper in a shallow bowl. Cut the goat cheese into 4 even rounds. Press the cut sides in the nuts and set aside. Warm the lentils in the microwave or in a saucepan and season with salt and pepper.
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until crisp, 10 minutes, and transfer to paper towels with a slotted spoon. Add the shallot to the pan drippings and cook for 20 seconds. Remove from the heat; whisk in the vinegar and sugar.
Remove the beets from the oven and warm the nut-crusted goat cheese on the hot roasting pan. Toss the frisee with the bacon and dressing and divide among bowls. Top the salads with beets, lentils and a round of goat cheese. Drizzle with more olive oil.
