I'm new to cooking so I don't have a good supply of fancy oils in the cupboard YET so I just used olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, and a few good shakes of a dry lemon dill herb blend and a dash of salt and pepper for the dressing. I have fallen in love with roasted beets so I used them instead of canned. The sweetness of the beets combined with the celery, onion, and tomatoes was wonderful! This cool and crisp salad was perfect for a nice summer day like today! I look forward to making it again when I have walnut oil!

I used green pepper and onion to get the green color and the onion flavor. I cooked fresh beets. The walnut oil really makes this salad! It smells great, looks cool and crisp, and tastes delightful!

I loved this recipe and it has become a standard at our house. The flavors blend wonderfully together.

Great recipe! I used fresh beets and tomatoes from my garden and only used olive oil. Outstanding, whole family loved it. Will be making again and again. Thanks cookingqueen.

This was a delicious salad.......the only changes I made was to use only 1/4 cup olive oil and no other oils.......I also used fresh cooked beets. I served it on individual salad plates. It looked as great as it tasted. I will be serving this again and again.
