Beet Salad image

We live in the high-mountain country of central Idaho, where the cool climate is idea for root crops like beets. This beet recipe came from a friend many years ago, and it remains one of my favorite party dishes. It's a particularly colorful and refreshing salad to serve at a ladies luncheon or as a tasty complement to a meat dish.

A bit too sweet for my taste, but still a good salad. I think I'll try using less honey next time.

This is my go-to potluck salad. It's always a crowd-pleaser and so easy to make. I love that I can make it ahead of time, too.

Easy to make and so delicious! I used a pre-cooked beet to save time and it still turned out great. The dressing is simple but really brings the salad together.

I'm not usually a fan of beets, but this salad changed my mind. The sweetness of the beets paired well with the salty goat cheese and the dressing was flavorful without being overpowering. Will definitely make this again!
