beets, wrap them individually in aluminum foil. Place in a shallow baking
pan and bake for about 1 hour or until the tip of a sharp knife can be
inserted easily into the center of each beet. Unwrap; let stand at room
temperature until cool. Meanwhile, combine oil, vinegar, shallots, thyme,
sugar, salt and pepper. Mix well with a whisk or fork. (Dressing may be
made up to 1 week before serving; keep covered and refrigerated.) Peel the
cooled beets and cut them into small wedges. Arrange lettuce on four
serving plates. Arrange beets and trout over lettuce. Crumble the goat
cheese and sprinkle over the salad. Drizzle dressing evenly over salad. Top
with walnuts, if desired. Makes 4 servings. Formatted by Lynn Thomas
