In two batches, add beet leaves and cook until tender, 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and stir in bacon.

Chive Blossom Vinaigrette over Butterhead Lettuce with Tomatoes
1/2 cup chive blossom vinegar
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp fresh cracked black pepper
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 to 1-1/2 cups of olive oil
Butterhead lettuce

Place all the ingredients but the oil into a bowl and whisk to combine. Whisk in the oil and serve. This is a temporary emulsion which means you will need to whisk it before using as it will separate. Serve over torn butterhead lettuce and tomato wedges.

Goat Cheese Scalloped Potatoes with Chive Blossoms
3 lb. boiling potatoes
2 shallots, chopped
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
8 oz. soft mild goat cheese
1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons coarse salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Garnish: fresh chives (preferably flowering) snipped with scissors
Preheat oven to 350°F. Peel potatoes and cut into 1/8-inch-thick slices with a manual slicer or sharp thin knife. Keep slices in a large bowl of cold water while making sauce.
Cook shallots in butter in a small skillet over moderately low heat, stirring, until softened. Transfer to a blender and purée with milk, cream, cheese, kosher salt to taste, and pepper. Drain potatoes in a large colander and pat dry. Arrange in a buttered 3-quart shallow baking dish in 3 layers, pouring some of sauce over each layer (use all of sauce) and putting best potato slices on top layer. Bake, covered with foil, in lower third of oven. Remove foil after 45 minutes and continue to bake until potatoes are tender, 30 to 45 minutes more. If desired, briefly broil potatoes under preheated broiler until top is golden.
