Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium beets scrubbed and trimmed
  • 1 medium sweet potato peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 cups mixed salad greens such as arugula, spinach, or spring mix
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup walnuts chopped
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. Wrap the beets in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet.
  3. Toss the diced sweet potato with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper, then spread them out on the baking sheet alongside the beets.
  4. Roast the beets and sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and the beets can be easily pierced with a fork.
  5. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, peel the beets and cut them into bite-sized pieces.
  6. In a large bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, roasted sweet potatoes, and roasted beets.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, honey, remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and garlic powder until smooth.
  8. Drizzle the yogurt dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
  9. Top with crumbled feta cheese and chopped walnuts before serving.
