I think this is a garnish...not a side dish.....
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

Ina - love you...but this one makes a huge amount. I would definitely cut it in half...and think of it more as a garnish... than a side. Also spent bookoo $ on raspberry vinegar (really got a great one with pulp...yummy) - but felt it was lost in the salad. I added a drop of balsamic - which I would recommend over the raspberry. And peeps...I LOVE beets. This is just way over the top in terms of the amount of them. You're not preparing for a restaurant. P.S. You might want to try adding goat cheese before serving - or feta as another reviewer suggested. I tried both. (Wish I had had blue cheese as someone suggested...I think that would be the perfect compliment.) JTRead more

Ina, how do you do it?!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Frankly, I really dislike beets. However, my husband loves them. With the combination of beets and orange, thought this... just might be the recipie to convert me and it worked! It's not only tastey but beautiful. If letting the beets marinate, you may want to add the orange zest and orange sections at the last minute so they do not turn colors. Another great, easy recipie from Ina!Read more

Very tasty
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I really liked this salad. I must've zested into the white part of the orange because it got a little bitter but that's my... fault. I'll make this again and be more careful next time. Also, I bought the raspberry vinegar for this recipe and then relaized I had some orange/champagne vinegar from Trader Joe's which would've worked great also. I added a little crumbled blue cheese on top which was a nice touch. Feta would work good too. This would be good on a bed of arugula. Yum. Read more

Such a delicious Clean Palette Food-Not for non lovers of beets, but for me I give it a 10!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I used fresh beets and roasted them at 400 for 40minutes. I also did not know how to zest an orange so i went on utube and... learned how to and how to take out the orange slices without the membranes. OMG. how amazing. This was the best Salad ever. It's such a colorful dish too :)Read more
