We received red beets in our CSA box this week. I never had beets before so I was anxious to try them. This salad was good but I think I may have put to many beets in it. Next time I would only put in 3 small to medium size beets. I used feta based on other reviews and liked it. I would make this recipe again.

The salad itself was good but I didn't care for the dressing. Maybe it's just me because other people seemed to like it! Here are the things I did differently: 1. Roasted the beets - Scrubbed and cut off the ends. Wrapped in foil and put on a baking sheet (this is a MUST DO). Bake at 400 F for 45 min-1 hr. Let cool and then slice 2. Used feta cheese instead of goat. 3. Made 3X the walnuts. Awesome! 4. Other than the dressing - the salad itself is good.

This could possibly be my favorite salad of all time! I didn't even know I liked beets until I had fresh ones...YUM! I believe I even converted my whole (Southern) family last night to love beets and goat cheese which I didn't know was possible. Additions: chopped strawberries

Excellent flavor and texture combination! I added black pepper only because I can't be without it. Thanks for the recipe!

I really enjoyed this salad, and I am more of a hot food/soup/stew kind of gal. I didn't have orange juice so I made it with fresh tangerines. I cut the amount of oil down to approximately 1 tablespoon and used Feta. I used a few drizzles of all natural uncooked honey. The salad was delicious, and it was great having some fresh cubed beets around the kitchen while to snack on while the rest of dinner was being prepared.

Excellent recipe--didn't have orange juice, so I used the "Balsamic Vinaigrette" recipe from this site by Gary R--added two Tablespoons of maple syrup to sweeten it up...YUM!

This was a little sweet for my taste and the recipe made too much dressing. Other than that, it was really tasty. I will make again, with the changes mentioned above.

I had a similar salad in Wolfgang Puck's restaurant in Las Vegas where he used pistachios. I will use them when I make this again. I roasted the beets, adding in some oil and balsamic vinegar, as described by previous reviewers (thank you!). I had only fresh baby spinach, and that was a perfect green for this. Finally, I had only fresh orange juice, so I boiled it down for the dressing and it was perfect. Many raves for this salad, I will certainly serve it again.

overall was a very good and tasty recipe. i modified it a little bit by not using the maple syrup and the frozen orange juice (good luck finding one in the uk!) and serving the beet roots warm. i definitely would make it again.

The flavor combination was good, and I loved the idea of using syrup to candy the nuts. We roasted the beets as others suggested, so in the end it was a bit more time consuming than I like for a salad (I could buy canned but won't as we shoot for maximum nutrient value in our food). Next time I'll add the onion as suggested by other reviewers and marinate and chill the beets before serving.

Simple, very good. Cooking the beets might be more trouble than it's worth, next time I'm going to try canned beets. I use other sorts of nuts rather than almonds, and I used honey-roasted nuts and skipped the whole syrup step. Obviously I'm after a very quick and easy version of this... I make a big batch and keep the dressing separate, so I can eat several meals from it during the week.

Dressing is very tasty. I opted to use seasame oil, some herbed goat cheese and I candied sliced almonds instead of walnuts

Wow we love this recipe! The salad dressing is so simple, yet so delicious. Everything complements each other wonderfully...the tang of the dressing, the sweetness of the walnuts, and the goat cheese to bring it all together. LOVE THIS!

Absolutely delicious! I made it using organic candy-stripe beets (slightly milder than traditional beets) and fresh spinach leaves and it was a perfect vegetarian main course for two people. I substituted feta for the goat cheese, and used lemon juice in the dressing instead of orange-juice concentrate but followed the rest of the recipe exactly. The candied walnuts were so easy, and a big hit!
