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

The beets in this salad were a little undercooked for my taste. I would have preferred them to be a little softer.

This salad was a little too tangy for my taste. I think I would have preferred a milder horseradish dressing.
