  1. Deliciously fresh-tasting! Once the beets are cooked and cut, it's super quick to make. It gets better the longer it chills. I made this exactly as written, just adding a little chopped sweet onion. I was thinking that goat milk fets would be nice to crumble on top. All beet lovers should try this. Thanx for sharing!
     
  2. Deelish! I'm so glad I love beets! And this is a wonderful salad to add to my roster of great beet recipes! I did use just a skoosh more garlic. For our taste buds, the cilantro was spot on! Thnx for sharing your recipe, Engrossed. Made for the French Forum Herb of the Month tag game.
     
  3. I liked this a lot. I made it exactly as written except for omitting the cilantro as DD doesn't like it. If making this for myself only I will definitely include it.
     
  4. I had some beets in the refrigerator that needed to be used. This proved to be a very delightful way to serve them.

I'm not as active here anymore, but you can find me playing at the new recipezazz.com. I'm not a great photographer, but I love to take food photos with Freddy Cat to bring a smile to people's day. I love to cook and share good food with other people. I have a very large collection of cookbooks. I used to enjoy being able to look up recipes on Zaar by ingredients I had on hand. I miss the Zaar tag game community. Everyone was so nice, and it was super fun. Ah, the good ol' days.
