Delicious! I simplified and bought raspberry vinegarette dressing & candied walnuts. I will make this as a regular "company's coming" salad!

This has to be illegal. THE most delicious salad I have ever eaten. I just joined allrecipes today after four years, so that I could give you kudos on this. If I get a bunch of SPAM it will be worth it. You finally gave me a reason to crack open that bottle of walnut oil someone gave me as a gift last year. I had to use canned peaches (as it is April) and I subbed green ends of scallions for the shallots, but this is just an explosion of deliciousness I did not expect from such a simple recipe. Also, do NOT sub feta for goat cheese--that's like subbing skim milk for whipping cream. Goat cheese is expensive, but a little goes a long way. I also had some pomegranate balsamic vinegar on hand, which was was awesome.

This was wonderful! I used 1 cup walnuts to 3 tblspoon maple syrup. It makes a ton of dressing... about twice what we needed. Delicious!

I've made this recipe twice in the last week-- my husband and I LOVE IT. We usually have something else, too, for a bigger meal, so I wouldn't call it a single-dish meal. Other than that, it's perfect!

I roast the beets (coat with olive oil, wrap individually in foil, or cover pan with foil) and then use the beet juice/oil mixture as the base for the dressing, adding new oil to make up the balance required. I also purchase candied pecans, as I don't care for walnuts...what a delicious salad!!!! PS: I also use disposable painter's gloves to rub the peels off the beets after roasting...it saves me from having stained hands!)

We loved this salad. I just used what I had on hand, so I used fresh beets, the maple walnuts as directed, romane lettuce, sliced scallions, hemp seeds, apple cider vinegar, and feta cheese. Added diced chicken tenders, and it was delish. Will use this from now on. Thank you, Donna, for a great tasting and nutritous dinner idea.
