- Mix together dressing: extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, balsamic, maple syrup, garlic, and parsley.

- Keep salad cold until ready to serve.
Notes
- GRAINS: option to add a grain such as farro, freekeh, or quinoa
- GREENS: option to add greens, like baby arugula or baby spinach to make the salad go further if serving a crowd.
- MAKE AHEAD: cook and peel the beets, crumble the cheese, and make the dressing 2 days ahead of time. Assemble and dress just before serving, especially if planning to serve for the holidays.
- STORAGE: leftover salad can be stored in an airtight container for 3-4 days. The flavors actually meld together after a few days, making this a great meal prep salad, too.
