Preparing the Beets

1. Begin by washing the beets thoroughly to remove any dirt. 2. Peel the beets using a vegetable peeler. 3. Chop the beets into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking. 4. Place the chopped beets in a large pot of boiling water and cook until tender, about 20-30 minutes depending on their size. Drain and let them cool.

Optional Dressing

1. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, vinegar (balsamic or apple cider works well), lemon juice, salt, and pepper. You can also add a hint of honey or maple syrup for a touch of sweetness and some fresh herbs like dill or parsley for additional flavor. 2. Drizzle the dressing over the cooled beets and toss gently to coat.
