Roasted Beet Salad with Honey Dijon Vinaigrette
NeedTaste |YUM-MY This salad may be one of my new favorites. I could not stop munching on this one all day long. I'm putting this on my must-make list for the next time guests stop by.. This delicious salad is a combination of three of my favorite salads. I like to make this during the holidays because it is so colorful. I almost called it Bejeweled Roasted Beet Salad because of all of the jewel-tone colors
