This salad is really bland. It needs more flavor.

The beets in this salad were a bit too hard. I would cook them for a little longer next time.

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar in the dressing next time.

I'm not a big fan of horseradish, so I used a little less than the recipe called for. The salad was still delicious.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover beets. I always have a few beets in my fridge and this is a delicious way to use them.
