This salad is not worth the effort. It's not very flavorful and the ingredients are expensive.

I found this salad to be bland. I added some extra salt and pepper to taste.

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

I'm not a big fan of beets, but I really enjoyed this salad. The goat cheese and walnuts balance out the sweetness of the beets.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover beets. It's also a great make-ahead salad.

This salad is so delicious and refreshing! The beets are perfectly cooked and the goat cheese and walnuts add a nice touch of richness and crunch. I will definitely be making this again.
