  • Preheat oven to 400F. Wrap like colored beets together in foil (red beet color will bleed into the yellow and candy cane beets if wrapped together). Place beets in baking dish and roast for 45 minutes to 1 hour until a knife inserts easily into beet. Unwrap beets and let cool until cool enough to handle. Trim ends and remove skins. Slice beets into wedges.

  • To serve, arrange shredded beet leaves on a platter, spoon Kamut Bulgur mix in center of the platter and top with beet wedges. Drizzle salad with vinaigrette.
  • For vinaigrette, whisk together, orange juice, lemon juice, olive oil, miso, ginger, garlic, zest and pepper flakes.
