Beet Salsa

This is really good with pita chips, and can also be served as a relish salad with most any meat or fish.

If you make it with red or chioggia beets, it is a very pretty holiday salsa.

1½ c. cooked, peeled beets, very small diced (¼")

1 c. orange segments, very small diced (¼")

1 tart apple, very small diced (¼")

1 avocado, very small diced (¼")

2 Tbsp. snipped cilantro, parsley, or carrot tops, optional

2 Tbsp. finely chopped green, red, or other mild onion

1 small jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced, optional

1 Tbsp. lime juice

Salt and pepper to taste

Combine all ingredients, cover, and refrigerate.

Allow flavors to meld for at least an hour or so before serving.
