For an added layer of flavor, consider toasting a handful of walnuts or pecans and sprinkling them over the salad just before serving. If you prefer a less intense onion flavor, soak the sliced red onions in cold water for 10 minutes before adding them to the marinade. Freshly roasted beets can be used in place of canned beets for a richer, earthier flavor. Simply roast, peel, and slice the beets before adding them to the marinade. This salad pairs beautifully with grilled chicken or fish, making it a complete and satisfying meal. Aged balsamic vinegar is recommended as the acidity and unique flavor profiles make a difference!
