"I love roasted beets...they get particulary earthy and sweet. I can't wait for the beets in my gardent to get big enough to pick to make this very simple yet flavor-packed salad this year."

Enjoyed the dressing very much although I did not add the entire amount of beet juice! Added some goat cheese and my hubby actually said that was his favorite part.
