     I washed two large grapefruit sized freshed beets then steamed them in my pressure cooker for 20 minutes to save time and then used your recipe and WOW WOW Awesome! Fabulous will make often! - 7/31/11

     Thanks for your recipe. I make a similar recipe replacing the Gorgonzola with goat cheese, increasing the arugula to 8 cups, reducing the beets by half, using toasted pecans and tossing it in a homemade mustard vinaigrette. I loved your version too! Thanks! - 3/30/11

     Very yummy! My first time making beets and will definitely do it again. Made with mixture of baby arugula and spinach leaves. Didn't mix it all together, though, so the leftovers wouldn't get soggy. - 9/5/12

     Delish! The beets are much easier to peel after roasting. The smell wonderful while baking, like a mix of baking potaoes and beets. - 3/12/10

     If you love beets, this is a great recipe (I only like them). The roasting was a really easy way to peel them, thanks. - 9/15/10

     This is my new favourite salad. Easy to roast a batch of beets on the weekend and store to make the salad several times a week. - 5/20/21

     Since this was a large portion, I too, did not mix the "salad" greens and dressing with beets so it would be good to mix together later. It is very good! - 10/1/20

     I kind of like my fresh beats by themselves. This recipe didn't add anything nice to the beet flavor. - 11/23/19
  • REDROBIN47
     This looks very good. I have never eaten arugula and would like to try this recipe. I will get ingredients when I shop so I can and will rate it then. - 11/6/19

     Love roasted beets, and can rub skin off with paper towel after baking them in a oven. Love a beet salad and usually use spinach and arugula mixed, vary the nuts, and sometimes feta instead of blue, oranges chopped up and mushrooms go well too in this, Love it. thank you - 8/23/19
