Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 °F 220 °C.
- Individually wrap each beet with aluminum foil and place on a baking tray.
- Roast the beets until tender. About 45 - 1 hour depending on their size. Check with a knife by cutting through the center of the beet. They should be firm, not mushy.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
- Peel the beets while they are still warm and slice them into rounds or dice them. Transfer them into a large bowl.
- Combine all of the vinaigrette ingredients in a bowl and whisk together. Pour over the beets and carefully toss them. Season with salt and pepper. Chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour. This salad tastes best cold.
- Combine the yogurt dressing ingredients in a bowl and whisk together.
- Drizzle the yogurt on top of the beets and garnish with the walnuts.
- Note: The walnuts can be toasted in the oven at 350 degrees for 8 minutes or over medium heat in a pan.
