If you love beets, (which I didn't till I tried this) you'll love this! My Peruvian mother-in-law taught me how to make this extraordinary recipe! It goes great with fried chicken, but I usually make it when I make my Puerto Rican arroz con pollo. My husband refuses to eat chicken if I don't include this salad.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my salad didn't turn out as good as I hoped. The dressing was too thick and the beets were too crunchy.

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just because I'm not a big fan of beets. Otherwise, it was a well-made salad.

I'm not a big fan of beets, but this salad changed my mind. The sweetness of the beets paired perfectly with the tangy dressing. I'll be making this again soon.
