Preheat the oven to 400°F. Arrange 3 medium-large scrubbed
and trimmed beets in a small baking dish and fill it with enough
water to submerge the beets 1 inch. Season with salt, cover the
dish with foil, and bake in the oven for 30-60 minutes, until the
beets are fork tender. Allow beets to cool enough to handle.
Remove skins with a paring knife—they should come off easily.
Dice beets and set aside in a medium mixing bowl
