I made this salad for a dinner party over the XMas season. It was VERY well received. I never had white balsamic vinegar so just used regular balsamic and the dressing worked out just fine. I did add some sliced avocados and sliced red pepper to the salad, but otherwise, I pretty well followed the recipe. I tossed the salad with half the dressing, half the marinated beets, and half the toasted pecans. Then I sprinkled the remaining beets, pecans, and cheese over the salad. I served the remaining dressing on the side. I will definitely make this again.

This recipe has so many esoteric ingredients! It took me a solid hour to find everything. The pecans add nothing to the salad.
