I don't know what brilliant chef or home cook invented this salad, but I am sure glad they did. I love, love, love this salad (did I say love?). Beets get a bad rap because of their color but let me tell you, it sure does look beautiful with the white goat cheese and the green lettuce leaves. In this salad, I suggest using baby beets because they are sweeter, cook faster, and are easier to work with. Take precaution to wear gloves when peeling the skins and slicing the beets. I would wear an apron or a shirt I didn't much care about. Is this worth it you say? I say, absolutely.
