- Wash and drain lettuce.
- Rinse and drain kidney beans.
- Cut beet into quarters.
- Almonds can be roasted to enhance flavor.

Tips:
To save time, buy precooked peeled beets - they are typically sold in the produce department.
If you prefer to use homemade roasted beets, then preheat oven to 400F, peel and quarter several beets, then bake for 45-60 minutes. Turn beets halfway through cooking cycle. Store extra beet quarters in frig for future meals.
