Notes
*For canned beets, use one 15oz. can of sliced beets.
**If you don’t want to make the homemade vinaigrette, you can also skip marinating the beets and just use your preferred dressing on your salad.
***For extra crunch and flavor, toast walnuts before adding to salad. Preheat a dry skillet over medium-low heat. Add walnuts, toss frequently until fragrant and lightly toasted, about 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer walnuts to a plate or paper towel and let stand 5 minutes before adding to salad.
