You know what I think? You only live once, so why not use a whole darn avocado. I also used 2 green onions instead of a regular onion. And it was delicious. Lots of flavour and colour.
I prefer the apples and beets to be in cut in medium size chunks.
this was quicker when i used canned beets and the taste was very nice
Very pretty salad. I made my beets heart shaped for valentine's day. Was a bit confusing in instructions - step #4 "with the 1/2 cup vinaigrette" There was more than 1/2 cup so I wasn't sure if I was suppose to put the beets only in a 1/2 cup of the liquid. I put the beets in it all. thanks!
this salad was a HIT! the beets were marinated just the way I like them and who would of guessed they tasted so great with apples.
My guests loved this and so did I. Beautiful on the plate and fun and easy to bake the beets. I did not use the second amount of vinegar though. It was enough with just the apple cider vinegar. I also used toasted almonds. Thanks!
Very yummy! I made the mistake of putting it on the same plate with mashed potatoes/main entree and the beets/dressing turned the potatoes pink. It was kinda funny -- so my suggestion is to make sure you keep this salad on a plate by itself! The taste was really good --- nice combo. of ingredients. Very pretty too. I used canned beets which were way less of a hassle and just as good. Thanks for sharing!
My husband raved and raved about the delicious new flavors in this salad. It was a nice compliment to our meal and one I'm sure to make again. I couldn't find apple cider so I had to use plain apple juice...it had a slightly different taste than I imagine the cider gives it and I can't wait to try it with the cider.
This was good. I've never cooked raw beets before and boy do they taste just like canned!! Next time I'd use canned and save all that time. I didnt toast the walnuts either and they were still good. My boyfriend really liked it. Im on the fence...It was good but I wouldnt make it again. Ok maybe to impress someone because it was all red and pretty.
Definitely "can" the beets. Too much time and hassle especially the pink fingers you get from working with the beets.
