Roasted Beet & Citrus Salad & Creamy Horseradish Dressing

Beets are abundant during the winter months and they're so delicious when roasted and paired with some simple ingredients. The horseradish adds a little heat to balance the dish.

roasted beet and citrus salad

Ingredients

  • 360 ml (1½ cups) 0% fat Greek yogurt
  • 15 g (2 Tablespoons) horseradish
  • (1 bunch) fresh parsley leaves
  • 45 g (3 ) medjool dates, pitted
  • (½ teaspoon) kosher salt, optional
  • 908 g (2 pounds) roasted beets, cut into medium chunks
  • 260 g (2 ) oranges, peeled, halved, sliced thin
  • (½ bunch) fresh parsley leaves
  • 55 g (½ cup) toasted walnuts
  • (1 teaspoon) lemon rosemary sea salt, optional

Directions

1. Place the Greek yogurt, horseradish root, whole bunch of parsley leaves, dates, and salt into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the lid.
2. Start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed. Blend for 45 seconds, using the tamper to press ingredients toward the blades. Remove from the container and refrigerate for about an hour before using (this will thicken the mixture.)
3. We like to layer this salad to avoid getting the beet's natural liquid on the other ingredients - place about a cup of the horseradish dressing on the bottom of a serving platter, topping with the beets, orange slices, parsley leaves, walnuts, and sea salt. Enjoy with a nice drizzle of extra virgin olive oil if desired.
