Instructions

1.	Wash and scrub the beets under cold running water. Cut off the leaves, leaving a small stalk intact.
2.	In a large pot of boiling salted water, add the beets with the stalks and leaves attached. Boil for 20-30 minutes until tender.
3.	Remove from the heat and drain the beets in a colander under cold running water. This will cool the beets and make it easier to peel off the skin.
4.	Once the beets are cool, chop into small bite-sized pieces and mix with olive oil, vinegar, salt, and chopped garlic (optional) to taste.
5.	Serve the salad at room temperature and enjoy!
