    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

    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

    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

    My husband and I hate beets but I am determined to try all things healthy. The beets taste like mushrooms and yummy. I used goat cheese and spinach and lite balsamic vinegar salad dressing with red onion rings as pictured. It's really good with the beets warm so the cheese is melty. - 3/3/18

    This one's a keeper! DW found some good-looking beets at the gro store and whipped this up for dinner. Fresh out of gorgonzola but blue cheese crumbles stood in admirably! Nice mix of flavors and textures, quite tasty. - 10/20/15

    This sounds good to me. Haven't made it yet, and I am lactose intolerant. I would try it with goat cheese for that reason. - 3/13/13
