Recipe Yield: Serves 4
Preparation
For the dressing:
2 green onions, minced
1 teaspoon finely minced garlic (about 2 cloves)
1 teaspoon lemon zest plus 2 tablespoons juice
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon coarse sea salt, plus more to taste
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons minced dill
2 tablespoons minced parsley

1 to 2 tablespoons water

For the salad:
1 pound baby beets with greens (about 1-inch thick)
1 pound slender young carrots with greens (about 1/2-inch thick)
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Sea salt
Freshly ground pepper
1 teaspoon minced parsley

To make the dressing, whisk to combine green onion, garlic, and lemon zest and juice, onion and garlic powder, and sea salt in a small mixing bowl. Set aside to marinate for a few minutes. Fold in Greek yogurt, followed by the fresh herbs. Taste and add sea salt as needed. Cover and set in fridge to chill. Just before serving, whisk in 1 to 2 tablespoons water to thin dressing as needed.

Preheat oven to 425°F.

Trim all but 1/4-inch of beet and carrot greens (reserve beet greens), and thoroughly scrub vegetables.

Set unpeeled beets in a small, 2-inch-deep baking pan. Add 1/2 inch of cold water and cover tightly with foil. Slide into oven and roast until beets are fork-tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Take care to avoid the hot steam plume when checking beets. Halve carrots and cut on the bias into 4-inch spears. Toss with olive oil and a pinch each sea salt and pepper. Scatter on a rimmed baking sheet and slide into oven to roast alongside beets 10 to 15 minutes, or until carrots just begin to curl up and the edges turn golden.

While vegetables cook, rinse and dry beet greens, and arrange leaves on a serving platter.

Uncover beets, drain hot water, and set beets aside until cool enough to handle. Slice off beet tops and remove skin under cold running water, either with fingertips or a peeler. (Skin will come off very easily.) Quarter beets and sprinkle with sea salt.

Tuck beets and carrots into the greens. Spoon on ranch dressing, and finish with a few twists of pepper and minced parsley. Serve immediately.
