"Tiny sweet red beets and vibrant orange young carrots — each with a shock of fresh greens — are among spring’s most colorful arrivals. This salad makes the best of both, combining tender beets, quick-roasted carrots, and tangy beet greens. A creamy ranch-style dressing made with Greek yogurt, green onions, and herbs brings it all together for a salad that’s both fresh and hearty. This method of cooking beets are one of my go-to preparations...."
