Step 1

Cook Beets: Place raw beets on individual squares of aluminum foil. Drizzle them with olive oil and wrap in foil. Bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Once cool enough to handle, remove the foil and peel the skins off the beets. Once cooled, cut into slices or cubes for the salad.
