Beet it!

(OK, couldn't resist the corny 80's pun...)

I love the salad bar at Ruby Tuesday. The avocado ranch dressing, the multiple protein sources, the convenience of being in the mall, all endear me to it. But perhaps my favorite ingredient in the spread is the beets--cut into matchstick pieces, not the alternatingly limp or rigid slabs of magenta, but in the perfect form to sprinkle on the salad like confetti and coat with dressing.

I figured out how to make my own beet confetti at home.

You will need:
*an egg slicer
* a can of sliced beets

1. Drain the beets.
2. Lay up to 3 slices of beet on the slicer in the spot where an egg would fit
3. Slice the beets the same way as you would an egg.
4. Remove the beets slices you've done, repeat the process with the rest.

You may need to use your hands to push the beets through the wires if there's a particularly tough slice, but it's much quicker than using a knife, and it's nice to have another use for that egg slicer.
