We found the dressing pretty acidic; I think the dressing would have tasted better with a little sugar and had a better texture with a little more olive oil. I have never had beets until this salad, and I've found I don't care for beets (at least in this salad). So that may color my rating of this recipe.

I made this pretty much as written, although I cheated and used orange juice for the dressing. I slit the tangerine sections and the seeds slipped right out. I roasted one beet for each of us, and used feta cheese. My husband and I loved it and thought the citrus flavors were a great contrast to our main dish. (A mac & cheese & cauliflower casserole) I would serve this at a dinner party.
