Sweet and tasty, I prepared this entire recipe on the gas grill for a company dinner while the chicken slow roasted beside it. Carrots and beets were fresh from the garden, although a little small. I used jarred ginger and cut down a little on the catalina. I will use even less next time. Was pretty, fragrant and delicious on salad.

You can't go wrong with this recipe if you love beets and carrots. Roasting enhances their innate sweetness and the catalina dressing compliments them beautifully. Made for the Newest Zaar Tag.
