This is one of my favorite salads. I love how simple, yet delicious it is. I often serve it for dinner parties and it is always well-received. The dressing is also one of my favorites.

This was fabulous! I sauteed the beet greens and stems with the pecans and added them to the salad. Amazing!

Very good recipe for beets. The combination of flavors really works and it's a nice substantial salad the go with grilled meat dishes.
