Roasted Beet Salad

Izzy Knight's Note:

You can roast the beets in advance. This is a very popular potluck dish and a real time saver for dinner parties since you can prepare this beforehand. This is appetizing as well as impressive.

This was very good! I have never made beets before, but I found a bunch (3) of golden beets on sale, and I found your recipe and gave it a shot. I only had 3 beets, so I halved the dressing and only drizzeled with Olive oil before roasting. It turned out really nice and it's so simple to make! Thanks for sharing!

OMG, sooo easy & sooo delicious! If you think you don't like beets, roast them. This is a wonderful salad that can be made wayy ahead which means it will make several appearances this summer! Thank you! Made for the Summer Berry & Salad Challenge 5/08.
