Ingredients

• 3 medium Carrots
• 3 medium Parsnips
• 2 medium Beets
• 2 medium Sweet potatoes
• 4 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 5 cups Mixed salad greens
• 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Chives, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

Peel the carrots, parsnips, beets, and sweet potatoes. Cut them into 1-inch chunks for even roasting.

Step 3

In a large bowl, toss the root vegetables with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

Step 4

Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Ensure they are not overcrowded to allow for proper roasting.

Step 5

Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are tender and caramelized.

Step 6

While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the creamy dressing. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, and chopped chives. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 7

Once the vegetables are roasted, allow them to cool slightly for about 5-10 minutes.

Step 8

In a large serving bowl, toss the mixed salad greens with half of the dressing. Add the roasted vegetables on top and drizzle with the remaining dressing.

Step 9

Garnish with extra chives, if desired. Serve the salad slightly warm or at room temperature for the best flavor.
