I love the combination of flavors in this salad. The sweetness of the beets and carrots pairs perfectly with the tangy dressing. I also added some crumbled goat cheese for extra flavor.

This is a great salad to make ahead of time. I made it the night before and it was even better the next day. The flavors had time to meld and the salad was even more flavorful.
