DELICIOUS! These are so yummy. I used half the amount of sugar because of the natural sweetness of the beets. The heat from the Dijon, the acidity of the vinegar & lemon, and the earthiness of the beets make a divine combination. Can't wait to see how good these are tomorrow after marinating overnight. Thanks for the awesomely addicting recipe!

Yum! I've always wanted to do something with beets, and now I know what! These were so good on their own, but even better over a nice salad. The sweet/sour juice drips onto the lettuce and adds to the salad dressing. I'll put them over spinach next time. Thanks!
