Earth-sweet beets get diced small and tossed with bright lime juice, fresh cilantro, and a touch of grated ginger and turmeric for a salsa that's equal parts earthy and tangy. Draining the beets first keeps every bite chunky instead of watery, so the deep magenta mixture holds together beautifully on a spoon or a lettuce cup. A drizzle of olive oil rounds out the flavor while red onion adds sharp crunch throughout. It's a fresh, whole-foods way to switch up your usual salsa routine, and it comes together with just a few minutes of chopping and a short rest to let the flavors meld. This one's a great fit for a Paleo table, whether you're piling it onto grilled fish or eating it straight from the bowl.

Place the diced beets in a fine-mesh strainer set over the sink. Sprinkle with 1/4 tsp of the salt, toss to coat, and let drain for 10 minutes — this draws out excess moisture so the salsa stays chunky rather than watery.
While the beets drain, combine the red onion, cilantro, lime juice, ginger, turmeric, olive oil, and lime zest (if using) in a medium mixing bowl and stir to combine.
