- 1 small head radicchio, sliced or torn
- 2 small heads witlof, leaves separated

- 100 g goat's cheese

- salt
- 1 tsp finely grated ginger
- 2 tbsp white balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp maple syrup

Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line 2 baking trays with paper.
2. Place the apple and pear wedges on one baking tray and the beetroot wedges on the other. Spread into a single layer, drizzle with oil and season with salt. Roast 30-40 minutes or until slightly browned and tender. The beetroot will take a little longer. Set aside to cool.
3. Meanwhile, for the dressing, heat the oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallots and a pinch of salt. Cook gently until softened, 2-4 minutes. Add ginger. Cook, stirring for a further 1-2 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly. Place remaining ingredients in a bowl. Whisk until well combined. Add warm oil and whisk until emulsified. Check seasoning and add salt and pepper, to taste.
4. Place leaves, fruit and beets on a large serving platter. Add dressing and toss gently. Add crumbled goat's cheese and nuts just before serving.
