Beet and Lentil Salad with Lemon Shallot Vinaigrette

Something about the Lemon Shallot Vinaigrette combined with the roasted beets makes this dish super scrumptious — perhaps it’s the natural sweetness of the cooked beets combined with the tangy and sweet (from date paste!) dressing. Whatever it is, it’s delicious, not to mention healing with the colorful beets, prebiotic-rich shallots, and iron-packed dates. If you want even more natural sweetness, top the salad with (fruit-juice sweetened) dried cranberries or figs, or fresh orange slices.
