Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and chop the beets and sweet potatoes into bite-sized cubes. Arrange on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and roast for 25-30 minutes until tender.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese with a pinch of salt. Blend with a handheld mixer or whisk until smooth and creamy, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, and enough water to achieve a drizzling consistency. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  4. Layer mixed greens in a large serving bowl. Arrange roasted beets and sweet potatoes, followed by sliced avocado. Drizzle with lemon-tahini sauce.
  5. Garnish with fresh herbs and toasted nuts or seeds before serving.
