This salad is a bit too expensive to make. I would recommend using less expensive ingredients, such as regular beets instead of golden beets.

This salad is a bit too bland for my taste. I would recommend adding some more spices or herbs to the dressing.

I found that the radicchio was a bit too bitter for my taste. I would recommend soaking it in cold water for a few minutes before using it.

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less honey in the dressing.

I'm not a huge fan of walnuts, so I substituted pecans instead. They worked just as well.

This salad is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It's also a great side dish for grilled chicken or fish.

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

I added some crumbled goat cheese to my salad and it was amazing! The tanginess of the goat cheese really complemented the other flavors in the dish.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover roasted beets. I always have a few extra beets in my fridge, and this is a delicious way to use them up.

I love the colors in this salad. The red radicchio, golden beets, and green walnuts make it so visually appealing.

This salad is so easy to make, but it looks and tastes like it came from a fancy restaurant. I'm definitely going to be making it again and again.

I've never been a fan of radicchio, but this salad changed my mind. The roasting process really mellowed out the bitterness and brought out the natural sweetness of the vegetable.
