Just made this , so delicious. With my lamb roast .
Hello, my friend. 😍💕 Awesome upload. 👍 Have a nice weekend.🤗✨
I like your website but not giving access to recipes without paying for them is the same reason I disliked NYT website.Why is that ? Many professionals going back decades share recipes without paying for cookbooks,ebooks.magazines.newspapers etc.During times like this money is scarce!😣😣😟😟😟
I set the microwave for 25 minutes. After 21 minutes, I was notified by my smoke alarm that the beets are done…waaaaaaay overdone. Just curious, is your oven an Easy-Bake by Hasbro? That cooking bulb inside may need replacement. The beets do however make nice decorative pebbles in my wife's garden.
Try "Pecans/Almonds" instead of "Pistachios".

Try using "Blue/Ranch Dressing" instead of " Yogurt".

Hey Dan try using "Pickled 🥒 Beets "
Great recipe Dan, made this recipe for my mom's birthday and she loved it!
That creamy dressing looks so delicious 🙂
Made this a couple days ago and it’s delish!
Never saw such a yummie salat ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️thank you!!!!!
Totally agree with the recent comments. I'm making this currently for dinner tonight! Will definitely be following other recipes from this gentleman. Thanks for sharing with us.
Hold on…. 25 – 30 minutes in the microwave? Seriously?
Always use full-fat stuff, low fat means no taste.
Please revise the recipe to include the fact that one must say "beautiful" repeatedly whilst preparing this.
Thank you Dan. That's a great tip about doing the beats in the microwave 😁
I love Dan as well but 25 min in the microwave!!?
I can not wait to make this. My mouth is watering.
LOVE ATK and Dan especially… however, I REFUSE to provide my full name and email address and sign up/register in order to get the printed recipe!!!! I don’t want to receive newsletters, special offers, or to put my email out there just one. more. time. WHY ATK, whyyyyyy???! I just wanted to get the beet salad recipe to cook for Thanksgiving. That’s IT. I don’t WANT to belong to or join yet one. more. thing! PLEEEEEZE, just make the printed recipe open access!
Amazing way of cooking the beets and presentation by Dan! I love eating it raw and my jaws become tight!
Made this for lunch. Delicious. Usually avoid beetroot because of the cooking time, and of course never occurred to me to use the MW, but this was so easy. Thanks so much, Dan.
What can I substitute for watercress if I can not find it at my store?
Love all the ingredients, not a fan of the layered presentation. If I were to make the salad I would toss (with less water in the yogurt to better cling or adhere to the beets?) just before serving. If served to me layered I think I might be somewhat disappointed and immediately start tossing at the table. As someone who used to make Caesar salad tableside, that final presentation is everything, particularly if you agree with 'we eat with our eyes' first. Hey, another great Dan vid from a great channel!
Unfortunately, I'm a beet hater, they taste like dirt to ME. My final step in this recipe would be to use a large ATK approved silicone spatula and scrap it all into the trash can. But that's just ME, can't abide cilantro either, that tastes like soap.
Re-upload? Why?
I like beets. We used beet greens in salads as well.
It's amazing wonderful and beautiful. That being said up until the last couple years I hate it them. Because as a kid I dearly love cranberry sauce brush made candy whatever but always with orange peel. Regrettably I attended a buffet and thought what I saw was cranberry sauce in slices from a can It was canned sliced beets. As a kid can you blame me?
"If that isn't the most beautiful beet salad you've ever seen, I want to know where you're eating!" 😘
