Ingredients
1/2 small-medium red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup green olives (about 20), pitted
1/4 cup lemon juice
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
2 small-medium beets, boiled, sliced, and diced

Directions
Marinate Onions and Olives
In a large serving bowl, combine the sliced red onion, green olives, lemon juice, olive oil, honey, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together and let it sit for 30-45 minutes to allow the onions and olives to quick pickle, intensifying the salad's flavor.
Add Beets and Herbs
Add the diced beets, parsley, and mint to the bowl. Toss gently to combine all ingredients, then let the salad sit for an additional 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve
Enjoy this salad warm, or refrigerate to serve cold, as chilling will intensify the pickled flavors. Perfect as a refreshing appetizer or side!
