After making this lovely salad, you won’t want to relegate nutritious beets and sweet potatoes to the side of the plate. The contrast of tender and crunchy vegetables is fantastic.—Country Woman Test Kitchen, Greendale, Wisconsin

We liked this salad a lot. I'm not sure I would rate it "excellent" but it was very good and we would definitely make this again. I did leave out the fennel because we are not big fans of fennel. Also, I served this with bottled balsamic vinaigrette rather than making the dressing recipe here. It seemed as if it would be the same basic flavor. Definitely a "keeper" recipe and a good way to get some very nutritious vegetables into a meal.
