Ingredients:

Serving

6 medium-size golden beets (about 6 oz. each)
1 cup pecan halves
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
1 large shallot, minced
2 tbsp light brown sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup canola oil
1 (5-oz.) package gourmet mixed salad greens , thoroughly washed
1 cup (4 oz.) crumbled gorgonzola cheese

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400°. Trim beet stems to 1 inch; gently wash beets. Wrap individually in aluminum foil, and place on a jelly-roll pan.
Bake at 400° for 1 hour or until tender. Transfer to a wire rack, and let cool, wrapped in foil, 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, decrease oven temperature to 350°. Bake pecans in a single layer in a jelly-roll pan 5 to 7 minutes or until lightly toasted and fragrant. Cool completely on wire rack (about 15 minutes).
Whisk together vinegar and next 5 ingredients in a small bowl. Add oil in a slow, steady stream, whisking constantly until smooth.
Peel beets, and remove stem ends. Cut beets into 1/2-inch wedges; gently toss with 1/3 cup vinegar mixture.
Arrange greens on a serving platter. Top with beet mixture, Gorgonzola cheese, and pecans; serve with remaining vinaigrette.
