Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 °.

Repeat procedure with gold beets, remaining 1/4 cup water, dash of salt, 3 thyme sprigs, and 1 rosemary sprig. Roast at 375 ° for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until a knife inserted into center of a beet meets little resistance. Remove from oven; uncover. Let stand until cool enough to handle; rub skins from beets with a kitchen towel. Discard skins.

Place beets in a large bowl with half of vinaigrette; toss to combine. Add salad mix and remaining vinaigrette; toss gently to coat. Place 1 2/3 cups salad on each of 6 plates. Top each serving with 1 1/2 teaspoons yogurt; sprinkle each with 1/2 teaspoon sunflower seeds.
