Beet, Mandarin & Goat Cheese Salad

These salad is super simple to throw together, but makes an impact with all the beautiful colors.  I've used canned beets and mandarins because I think those are two items that can very well and it makes it easy to throw together for a party, however you're welcome to use fresh roasted beets and fresh mandarins too.
