This recipe uses a secret time-saving trick … PREcooked beets! You can find them right in your grocery produce section.
Or, you can buy fresh beets and roast them yourself – just scrub them, place in a foil packet, and roast until tender at 400ºF/200ºC for 45-60 minutes.
Either way, this recipe is a winner and is great chilled or at room temperature!

Cut the beets into ½-inch (1 cm) cubes and place in a large serving bowl along with the carrot and celery.
