    This may be one of the worst things I've ever eaten -and I like beets, too. The dressing had a good texture but absolutely no flavor of any kind. It needed tarragon or basil or chives or something. Avoid this.

    The watercress drizzle makes this dish for sure! Wow! Who thought beets could taste this good! Even my picky dad raved about them.

    When I saw Ellie make it, it looked great. I though it was going to taste amazing, what with the buttermilk and the goat cheese, and I really wanted to taste the watercress and the beets because I hadn't had them in a long time. However, I forgot how bland steamed beets were. The dish looked amazing at first, just like on tv, but when I tasted it it was BLAND, SOUR and AWKWARD TASTING. The fact that it's extremely healthy does NOT make up for the fact that it tastes bad. There are plenty of GREAT tasting healthy recipes out there that make you feel like a million bucks, but this is not one of them

    What a fantastic drizzle. Peppery healthy. It is good on bulgur potatoes. Adds lots of flavor.

    This salad takes advantage of great summer time farmer's market finds-- I used baby multi-colored beets that are in season instead of the larger ones used on the show, and was also able to get some fresh watercress. I also used regular goat cheese, as there was a big price difference between that and reduced fat at the store! Great combination of sweet beets, spicy watercress, and meaty walnuts, will definitely use again.
