This salad is a great way to use up leftover beet greens. I usually just compost them, but now I have a new way to use them.

I used a mix of beet greens and Swiss chard in my salad and it turned out great. I think the Swiss chard added a little extra sweetness.

This salad is a great make-ahead dish. I made it the night before and it was even better the next day.

I'm not a huge fan of beets, but I really enjoyed this salad. The bitterness of the beet leaves is balanced out by the sweetness of the dressing.
