Someone who agrees that beets taste like dirt. And that dirt isn’t necessarily a bad flavor.
The bracelet is exquisite.

As a child, I was a vegetable loather. Except beets. I always loved them. Now I’m wondering if it was partly because of the colour.

Spinach, on the other hand, was horrifying.

Beets are still favourites and of course, spinach is now too. Your salad sounds wonderful, Barbara.

(I wonder if beet greens would work in the salad. I’ve only had them cooked but tender young beet greens must be perfect for salad.)

And THIS is just a reminder, since beets have been arriving in my CSA box and I’ve been cooking them up like crazy, that you can pretty much eat the whole beet. Beet leaves have a good crisp (though still earthy) flavor, and look beautiful in a green salad. Or you can put them in a soup, like spinach or kale. Beet stems are kind of sweet, like the root, but with a less strong flavor. They taste good sauteed or in a soup, although you might have to pull away some of the tough fibers.
