Beet Salad

Beets have to be one of my favorite vegetables as you can tell from this previous post.  At salad bars, I don't really consider it a very good selection if they don't have them.

This time around I would like to show off how well it goes in a salad though instead of how well it grows around here.  Not only does it give a great contrast of color but it also helps to mellow some of the other flavors you might have in a salad.  If you don't want a mostly red salad though you need to make sure you rinse and thoroughly dry the beets after you cut them up but before you put them in the salad.  Otherwise it won't look nearly so appetizing.

What are some of your favorite ingredients that you like to put into your salads?
