Oh beet carrot apple salad...where have you been all my life! This was so delicious. Even my family members who usually won't eat beets like this! Amazing!
1/31/2012 01:27:24 PM Report AbuseThis recipe was okay. I served it to a group at work for a luncheon. Not one person asked for the recipe, so that tells me something. I think it needed a little more zing. Perhaps a touch of ginger and some diced jalapeno peppers.
12/16/2011 07:48:05 AM Report AbuseNice to have something on the "lighter" side for Thanksgiving, but this dish lacked a lot of flavor for me. Was very pretty, but won't be making again.
11/29/2011 03:53:05 PM Report AbuseJulienned everything but the apple a day ahead. I've never had beets or turnips before. The flavor combinations were terrific, especially with the citrus vinaigrette. Ate leftovers two days later -- everything was pretty much all red, but it was still crunchy and delicious. Great counterpoint to the typical all-hot, all-soft Thanksgiving dishes.
