¼ cup buttermilk
¼ cup mayonnaise
Juice of 1 lemon (scant ¼ cup)
1 small clove garlic, grated (about ¼ teaspoon)
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt

Notes
- Recipe adapted from Desiree Currie
- Any remaining dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Peel beets. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Wrap in foil. Roast for 20 minutes. Allow to cool and then slice thinly. A mandoline (I use this one) makes slicing easy.
