Roasted Beets with White Balsamic Dressing

This recipe for Roasted Beets with White Balsamic Dressing showcases tender roasted beets. While the beets are still warm, they’re tossed in a delicious balsamic and citrus flavored dressing.

In my humble and honest opinion, roasting beets is the best way to eat them! They’re earthy and smoky and tasty. They’re pretty good to eat all on their own, or you can add a dressing or some crumbled cheese and nuts to them. They happen to make a fabulous side dish for dinner.

• ¼ cup freshly squeezed orange juice, strained
• 1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar
