Cranberry and Roasted Beet Salad image

I created this as a healthy, tasty side dish to complement Christmas dinner. This enticing substitute for cranberry relish is excellent with turkey. Even the children loved it! Serve the beet blend alone or on a bed of salad greens. -Brianna St. Clair, Worland, Wyoming

I'm not really sure how I feel about this salad. It's not bad, but it's not great either.

This salad is okay. I think it needs a little something extra to make it really special.

This salad is not as good as I thought it would be. I think I'll stick to my regular salad recipe.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my salad turned out really watery. I think I must have added too much dressing.

This salad is a bit too time-consuming to make. I don't think it's worth the effort.

The goat cheese in this salad was a bit too strong for my taste. I think I'll use a milder cheese next time.

I found this salad to be a bit bland. I think it needs more seasoning.

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using less cranberries next time.

I'm not a big fan of beets, but I loved this salad. The cranberries and goat cheese really balance out the earthy flavor of the beets.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover roasted beets. I always have a few beets left over after making roasted beet soup, and this salad is a great way to use them up.
