How to Make Beet Salsa
- Roast the Beets. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Wrap the beets in foil and place them on a baking sheet. Roast for about 45 to 60 minutes, or until they’re tender renough to pierce with a fork. Let them cool a bit, then peel and dice them into small pieces.
- Mix the Ingredients. In a medium bowl, combine the diced beets with the chopped jalapeno, diced apple, lime juice, chives, and a drizzle of olive oil. Give it a gentle stir so everything gets coated evenly.
- Season and Serve. Sprinkle in a little salt to taste and mix again. You can serve it right away, or chill it for about 10 to 15 minutes if you like it a bit colder.

Make-Ahead and Storage Instructions
To Make-Ahead: You can roast and dice your beets a couple of days early. You can mix them with everything else except the lime juice (save that for right before serving!).
To Store: I just put the beet salsa in a sealed container and keep it in the fridge. It stays good for 2-3 days. Before eating, I like to stir it up and squeeze in a bit more lime to bring the acidity back into the salsa.
