Pamela

Excellent! Super fresh, the balance of the dressing with the sweetness of the beets was fabulous, and the dill was such an interesting twist. My husband couldn't stop eating it!

Lisa Lee

The title of the recipe and its contents were perfect clear. Yet, I somehow convinced myself this required roasted beets. Anyway, it tastes good with roasted beets too! Can’t wait to make it raw…as intended.

Liz Power

Made this as written except used yoghurt instead of sour cream as that is what I had on hand. Tasty, refreshing, healthy.

Diane

I made this and it's a great way to eat raw beets. Same for the other raw beet salad with the sherry vinegar that Mark Bittman has.
