All I can say is WOW, fixed this tonight for my wife, fixed along with some smoked BBQ riblets, out of this world. I'm not a real beet person but she loves them so when I saw this in my email I had to give it a try. The flavors blended so well and I couldn't believe every thing for the dish was in our pantry. Will make it many more times. The walnuts were nice but not really needed.

Oh wow! This was an amazing summer side dish! I purchased a bunch of beets and organic feta at our local farmers market and this recipe was PERFECT! The only substitution i had to make was using rice vinegar in place of cider vinegar. The sweetness of the beets and carmelized onion paired perfectly with the salty feta. YUM!

I just finished making this (substituting crumbled goat cheese for the feta (it's all I had on hand)). Delicious! I'm sure the goat cheese substitution makes a pretty big difference, but I'm guessing the original recipe is at least as tasty as this. Yum! (And my beets were large (cut in half it still took an hour to roast them) and not all that fresh. I sure can't wait to try this with fresh little beets!)
