I made this with 50% arugula and 50% romaine, without the cooked beets. Outstanding! Goat cheese melts into a sweet-sour dressing. One of the best salads yet. Great for people who like a variety of texture and do not normally enjoy "rabbit food."

I had never tasted fresh beets before and they were just wonderful. A real pain in the behind to prepare (you should have seen me in the kitchen it was a screambut well worth the trouble. Substituted a bag of spring greens for the arugula which worked, and i just love goat cheese. A loaf of crusty bread and my husband and i were in heaven. Good one Giada.

This salad was absolutely delicious. Everyone went crazy over it and ate it for two days straight after I made it for dinner. I've never liked beets, but even they were pretty good. All of the flavors in the salad blend perfectly together, right down to using arugula. I was making it for people who hate goat cheese, so I asked a cheese expert at Central Market for a good substitute. They recommended Amish Blue Cheese (I used fresh so it would have the same creamy consistency - it was delicious.

Hadn't had beets in years and was certain I didn't like them until I tried this recipe. I substituted purple onion (thinly sliced for the shallots and feta for the goat cheese. I have made this several times and is one of my favorites, I get lots of compliments each time I make it.

So maybe that was the problem? I didn't have arugula, so I used romaine. The recipe sounded good, but the flavors didn't meld well for me... all I tasted was the romaine, and it's big texture.

I'll try again with arugula.

This salad was delicious - I skipped the beets though, never been a huge fan. Salad was just as good without them. Also I didn't use straight arugula, I mixed it in with a Dole Italian blend salad - was delicious. The salad dressing was wonderful and easy to make - the only problem is the whole salad must be served that same day b/c it got wilted.

This salad was awesome...and delicious.

The only thing I would add is 1/4 teaspoon dijon mustard to the viniagrette to emulsify it...my guests loved the salad.

A beautiful and delicious blend of colors and flavors. As shown on the show, I placed the hot beets on the salad at the last moment, and loved the resulting softened goat cheese. My guests raved!
