Notes

For the best results, ensure the beets are evenly roasted to achieve a tender texture and enhance their natural sweetness. If time allows, prepare the dressing in advance and let it sit for a while to meld the flavors together. Additionally, feel free to adjust the salad's sweetness and acidity by varying the amounts of honey and lemon juice according to your taste preferences.
