This is one of our favorite salads. Tangy goat cheese and earthy sweet beets are a dynamite combo. I often use baby mixed greens and add a bit of fresh dill if I have it in the garden. I serve this on a platter instead of in a bowl - spread greens out on the platter, layer beet slices on top of greens, place goat cheese disks on top of beets. It makes serving equal portions of greens/beets/cheese easier. Yum!

We enjoyed this salad! I did not have any goat cheese so I subbed unripened mozzeralla cheese and that worked out just fine, for the dressing I used sweetened orange juice which I think was a good choice otherwise I think a small amount of sugar would have been needed. Great beet salad Kel, thanks!...Kitten:)
