Thank you! It’s hot, I have beets in the fridge, and I don’t feel like cooking… this is perfect.

I really love goat cheese it is really delicous. Most of the time I eat it as a dessert or use it to make a salsa.

Lovely. I really like the flavour combinations you’ve got going. I’m going to email this recipe to a raw beet devotee friend of mine. She’ll love it!

I love the ode to Teddy via beet salad. But you’re right–they do seem to be the key to a long and healthy life. I’ve been a beet-phobe for most of my life, but now I seem to be making up for lost time. I prefer when, like this salad, they are not the main event, but merely an accent or a garnish to the meal’s center piece. Here is a beet and red onion relish to top a turkey burger I made last week. Come to think of it, your salad might have been the perfect side complement as well!

Oh, Layla, I’m so glad you liked it! My mandoline came with a guard, which I use religiously when the pieces get even remotely small. I think even a box grater could send me to the E.R. if it came to it (a serrated butter knife and some rice krispie treats once did, in fact), so I tend to just go for it and say a silent little prayer when I cut. Or step on the treadmill. Or into the shower, really.

Happy birthday to the little one! I can’t believe he’s turning four already.

Carolyn, this one was a big hit with friends yesterday! I will make it again, and maybe I will even buy a mandoline so I can do it right (but will I wind up in the emergency room?). Sadly, no luck pushing it on my own (soon-to-be — tomorrow!) 4-year-old.

well C,
for the first time… eva… I actually think I might willingly try beets… well… if you prepare them! LOL!
they look gorgeous and sound delicious (which is an amazing feat … considering I normally don’t even like to look at them, let alone think about eating them!)
