This salad is great warm, room temp or cold! It’s easy and beets are the main ingredient! I used beet greens, kale and radicchio in this version since I had very few beet tops. This is a versatile use for beets!
Golden Beet and Greens Salad
You can serve warm, room temp or cold. If you don't have the beet greens, you can sub kale, radicchio, or any sturdy green. You can also use feta rather than goat cheese if you like.
