Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and peel the beets and sweet potatoes, then cut them into uniform cubes. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- While the vegetables are roasting, blend ricotta cheese in a food processor until smooth, about 2 minutes. Set aside until ready to assemble the salad.
- Combine tahini, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth, adding water if necessary to reach desired consistency. Adjust seasoning as needed.
- In a large mixing bowl, layer greens first, then add roasted beets and sweet potatoes, followed by halved avocado and dollops of whipped ricotta.
- Drizzle the lemon-tahini dressing over the salad and garnish with fresh herbs and toasted nuts or seeds. Serve immediately.

Notes
For best flavor, use fresh ingredients and prepare roasted vegetables in advance. Avoid browning avocado by tossing in lemon juice before adding to salad.
