Simple Beet Salad is both accurate and a bit of a misnomer. It's certainly simple to make and far from stressful, yet the flavor itself is far from simple. It's rich, sweet, and complex, with the tang of balsamic vinegar and the crunch and nuttiness of walnuts. The oven-roasted beets are tender and colorful, a vibrant alternative to other bland salads. Simple Beet Salad shows that "simple" can be a great compliment!
