This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less maple syrup in the dressing.

I've made this salad several times and it's always a winner. It's a great way to use up leftover beets and shallots.

This salad is amazing! I love the combination of sweet beets, tangy shallots, and crunchy pecans. The dressing is also perfect - light and flavorful. I will definitely be making this salad again and again.
