Beet Salad image

We live in the high-mountain country of central Idaho, where the cool climate is idea for root crops like beets. This beet recipe came from a friend many years ago, and it remains one of my favorite party dishes. It's a particularly colorful and refreshing salad to serve at a ladies luncheon or as a tasty complement to a meat dish.

I'm not a big fan of beets, but I really enjoyed this salad. The goat cheese and walnuts really balance out the sweetness of the beets.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover beets. I had some roasted beets in my fridge and I didn't know what to do with them. This salad was the perfect solution!
