  • ¼ cup plain yogurt, or sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons orange juice

Preparation Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425.

Peel and cut the beets into slices. Toss with a splash of the olive oil and a pinch of salt. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20-30 minutes until tender to the bite.

Whisk together the yogurt, orange juice, mustard, pinch of salt and black pepper.

Wash and dry the spinach or kale, chop or tear into small pieces. Toss with the dressing and sprinkle on the blue cheese.

When the roasted beets are cooked, arrange on the greens and top with the optional nuts. Serve when the beets are hot or cold— either way is tasty.
