How to Make Robust Beet Salad By Dr Andrew Weil

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) if roasting. Trim beet greens, leaving about an inch of stem.
**Roasting:** Toss beets with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 45-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. **Boiling:** Place beets in a large pot, cover with 3 inches of cold water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 45-50 minutes, or until tender. **Canned:** Drain and rinse 1 (15-ounce) can of sliced beets.
Once cool enough to handle, peel beets under cool running water.
Trim stems and root ends. Slice beets thinly (about 1/8 inch thick).
In a large bowl, combine sliced beets with remaining ingredients.
Add salt and pepper to taste. Adjust spice level to your preference.
Chill for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Stir several times before serving.
Enjoy this delicious and healthy salad! It keeps for up to a week in the refrigerator.
