This is a fairly typical Costa Rican recipe for beet salad using the holy trinity of Costa Rican cooking: Onions, cilantro, and sweet red pepper. Please don't use anything other than fresh beets, it just wont compare.

SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

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

Directions

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).
