I was a little bit disappointed in this salad. everyone at our gathering ate it and I didnt get any bad commentsm but I also didnt get any compliments. I found it somewhat lacking in flavor but it was definately a little more flavorful the next day. It makes a pretty presentation but it lacks the pazazz that would have made it more memorable and the kind of recipe that someone would say " ohhhh could ya make THAT again!?". Read More

My 13 yr old and I whipped this together is just a few minutes. I used s.cream instead of yogurt and 2 TB of powdered green goddess dressing in place of the dill & used rice wine vinegar. Had just roasted beets from my garden so 1/4'd them and voila DELICIOUS!!!! My daughter said " I think this ones a keeper!" Wonderful! Read More

Family loved it. I roasted the beets substituted light sour cream for part of the mayo and added half a tart apple in a small dice. I also added a tiny bit of honey to mellow the dressing. Served it on a bed of arugula. A nice change from the usual beet/orange/onion salad I often make. Read More

This was fantastic. We like things with more zing so we upped the mustard and horseradish. We also used fat free yogurt and nixed the mayo to keep it healthy and it was delicious. Read More

so good I used it as a snack.---and I didn't share last time. I prefer to bake beets wrapped in aluminum foil---350 for 1 hour. Used regular mustard and skipped the horseradish. Read More
