i am getting quicker at this salad which means i now able to throw it together on a week night. and i find that this salad is much tastier than other beet salads i have tried where the beets are served cold.

tips: do not skimp on the onion. it is fantastic and soaks up the beet flavor and color. and for those of you that have a fairway nearby or other good supermarket, you can buy the beets pre-cooked.

Any favorite beet recipes? please post. i have leftover beets. . .

I have had golden beets out but never made them in the house. . I will definitely give them a try with this recipe. Thanks Jodi.

I like meal starters cold, this recipe works well served cold.

Nice selection.

That sounds BEET-tastic!

A little goat cheese with this recipe goes a long way too....
