Total Time: 25 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 3 medium fresh beets
• 1/2 sweet onion, finely diced
• 1/3 large sweet pepper, finely diced
• 1 bunch fresh cilantro (about a quarter cup when chopped)
• 3 -4 tablespoons mayonnaise
• salt

Recipe

• 1 boil the beets with their skins on so they do not lose their color.
• 2 when they are soft enough to easily pierce with a fork, let them cool in a tub of cold water until they are cold enough to peel. the skin will come off easily if you rub it gently with your fingers.
• 3 dice the beets into small squares.
• 4 add diced onion, cilantro, and sweet pepper.
• 5 add mayonnaise and gently mix thoroughly.
• 6 don't forget to add lots of salt if you'd like (i love salt).
