Beet and Blue Cheese Salad

Beet and Blue Cheese Salad may sound a strange combination but it works so well. The soft beets with a divine crumbly blue cheese and addition of walnuts makes this a superb collection of tastes and textures. I have had this as a main dish and also as a side dish as a salad.
