- After peeling the beets, boil them in water with a little salt until tender.
- Allow them to cool, then cut into small cubes.
- Cut the onion into small cubes and add to the chopped beets.
- Drizzle with olive oil and vinegar, and season with salt to taste.

Regular consumption of this beetroot salad has been associated with improved eyesight, a cleaner liver, and better colon health. Note: it is completely normal to notice a change in the color of urine or feces several hours after eating beets — this is harmless and simply a result of the betalain pigments passing through the body.
