Jeanne: Maybe we’re in the midst of a beetroot revival – I used to hate it too, but now love it!

Wow – hot stilton sauce!! And a very interesting combo. But I have to say I’m not 100% convinced about the beetroot… I still don’t really like it (something about the texture is just wrong!) unless it is slow-roasted with EVOO and rosemary. But I suspect there are more beetroot lovers than haters out there

peabody: Yep, it does. The same sauce works extremely well with Crudites.

Genie: Thankyou very much – and you’re right – it is a lot of work, but worth it!

Katie: Well, both are delicious. Why not try both?

Kalyn: It is a delicious combination – but I’m just a beetroot addict.

astrid: Give it a go – you just might like it!

farmgirl: you’ll just have to wait a while for them to grow, is all

SimCooks: A tower of goats cheese and beetroot with balsamic vinegar drizzled around is equally delicious.

Mimi: Thankyou very much. But where’s the bread?

PatL: I’m off to Google to look up golden beets – to see if they’re really a different colour, or if I’m just daft.

Ruth: It’s definately something that’s worth trying, too. Hope you like it.

It certainly looks fabulous. I’m a great fan of goat cheese and the idea of pairing beets with it is awesome. Thanks for the idea.

Looking forward to the roundup. Thanks for hosting.

How serendipitous that you would post this just now … (can you tell serendipity is my word for the week?), because I just was thinking how little I liked beets until very recently, and now that I’ve found golden beets I’m falling in love with them. I just roasted some slices and am going right down to have them with some goat cheese! Thank you!

Yes — the contrast of the dark bread and the light sauce and the subtle colors of the apple are a suggestion of the contrast of tastes. Nice!

I like the way you form the tower display. It’s more interesting than just laying everything on the plate.

I love the idea of this salad. I knew there was a reason I ordered several extra packets of beet seeds yesterday. . .
