ROASTED RAINBOW BEET SALAD
with Sherry honey-mustard dressing
Roasted or raw, rainbow baby beets are the star of the plate. Sweet and earthy, these vibrant root vegetables make a hearty salad when paired with equally nutrient-rich and fiber-dense greens. Seasons may dictate your choice; Castelfranco radicchio, available fall through the winter, adds a bitter contrast to the beet’s earthy-sweetness. Add chunks of plant-based goat-style soft cheese and toasted nuts for added texture and tang to this versatile salad.
