This was really good. Beets are in season at our local farmer's market now, so we are always looking for different ways to make them as we buy some every weekend. We were hungry as soon as these were made, so we didn't let them sit before eating, but the flavors were still good. Great recipe!

absolutely killer. i gave my aunt a bowl of these to try thinking she would have a bite or two and put the bowl down (she had already eaten dinner). she devoured the entire dish while exclaiming the entire time, "my god! my god! these are delicious! my god!". she had never eaten that many beets in one sitting and nearly ran unnecessarily to the emergency room the next day (you know what i mean) but after the scare passed and we had a good laugh over it she is requesting them again already. personally, i can't get enough.

yummy salad! I liked the touch of cumin. Careful with the lemon juice. The one I used was especially juicy and the salad was a bit to tart. I suggest starting with the juice of half the lemon and adjusting to taste.
