Place slices in ice water until ready to use. 3. Place arugula on a platter and top with roasted beets. Dot with cheese and parsley. Pat raw beets dry and scatter on salad. 4. Whisk pomegranate molasses with olive oil. Drizzle on beets. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, pomegranate seeds and pine nuts. makes 6 to 8 servings

I would make this salad again, but I would make a few changes to the recipe.

Overall, I thought this salad was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

The salad was a bit too oily for my taste. I would use less olive oil in the dressing next time.

I found the salad to be a bit bland. I would add more salt and pepper to the dressing next time.

The beets took longer to roast than the recipe said. I had to keep them in the oven for an extra 15 minutes.

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

I'm not a fan of goat cheese, so I used feta cheese instead. It was still very good.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I omitted the pine nuts from this salad. It was still delicious!

This salad is a great way to use up leftover roasted beets. I always have a few extra beets after I make roasted beet hummus, so this salad is a perfect way to use them up.

I used a pre-made vinaigrette dressing for this salad and it turned out great. I'm sure it would be even better with a homemade dressing, but I was short on time.

The goat cheese adds a creamy richness to the salad that balances out the other flavors perfectly.

This roasted beet salad is a delightful explosion of flavors and textures! The sweetness of the beets, the nuttiness of the pine nuts, the tanginess of the goat cheese, and the peppery arugula come together beautifully. I highly recommend it!
