Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss 2 medium peeled and cubed beetroot, 1 large peeled and cubed sweet potato, and 2 peeled and chopped carrots with 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Spread evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
2. Step 2: Roast the vegetables for 30-35 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and edges caramelize. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
3. Step 3: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp finger lime pearls, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp honey, and 1 tsp Dijon mustard until emulsified.
4. Step 4: In a large salad bowl, combine 4 cups mixed salad greens with the roasted vegetables. Drizzle the finger lime dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat evenly.
5. Step 5: Serve the salad immediately as a refreshing side or light main, garnished with extra finger lime pearls if desired.
