This recipe was a disaster. The beets were mushy and the vinaigrette was bland.

The beets were a bit undercooked for my liking, but that's also easily adjustable.

The vinaigrette was a bit too tangy for my taste, but that's easily adjustable.

I've never been a big fan of beets, but this recipe changed my mind. The vinaigrette really brought out the natural sweetness of the beets.
