Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 3 small red beets, scrubbed, shoot & root trimmed
  • 2 medium heads Romaine lettuce leaves
  • 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
  • 1 orange, zested
  • 1 1/4 cup sour cream (or yogurt)
  • 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
  • 1/4 tsp dried thyme
  • pinch dried mint
  • pinch salt

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 425F.
  • Wrap each beet in it’s own aluminum foil packet (making sure that it’s tightly closed) and place on a lined baking sheet.  Cook ~ 1 hour or until fork pierces softly through the beet.  Be careful opening up the aluminum packets to avoid getting a steam burn.  Cool, remove skin, and dice.
  • Make the dressing: Combine all dressing ingredients in a jar with a lid and shake vigorously.  Add salt to taste.
  • Lay out a head of rinsed romaine lettuce leaves.  You can either chop them up or lay down individual leaves.  Add beets and drizzle the dressing.  Garnish with pecans & orange zest.  Add sea salt to taste.  Happy delicious beet eating!  Beckie
