Roasted Beets with Cider Dressing
When someone tells me that they don’t like beets I immediately ask how they’ve cooked them. When the answer is boiled beets, I hand them this recipe. Roasted beets are in a different world of deliciousness.
Ingredients

- 2 tablespoons apple cider
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

- Whisk cider, cider vinegar, honey and oil in a small bowl.
