Beets are probably one of my favorite veggies from the garden. This year, I had a great harvest. The best thing is beets are SO GOOD FOR YOU!
Ever since I had Salt Roasted Beets at Salamander Resort & Spa, I always wanted to recreate that dish. Here is my version of that dish.
Roasted Beets with a Cucumber Pistachio Dill Yogurt Sauce
