Let the beets cool to touch, them peel them and cut them in bite size pieces.

Notes

You can boil the beets ahead of time and let them cool in the refrigerator in a container for few days until you are ready to use them.
We never have leftovers of this salad so haven't stored in but as any salad, you might have to store leftovers in an airtight container and as little as possible dressing with it. Create a new dressing when ready to serve again and add some more greens to supplement.
Some additional ingredients you can add to this salad would be more herbs, radishes, seasonings, etc.
