  2. Peel and core the apple. Dice small, place into bowl with lemon juice. Toss to coat to prevent browning. Add apple to salad.

Handling & Storage

Cut the leaves off the beets, leaving about 1 inch stems. Store leaves in a plastic bag in the vegetable drawer for no more than 3 days. Use the leaves in salads.

Place the beets in a separate plastic bag. Store beets in the refrigerator for up to a week, or a little longer. To prepare, scrub beets with a brush, remove roots, then cut as desired.
