Moroccan Beet Salad

Beets on short notice

On a Friday with very little planning, I found myself scrambling to put together a pickle/salad. I recalled seeing a Moroccan beet salad somewhere so I figured I should give it a spin.

After letting the salad sit for about 30 minutes, I started eating the beets not realizing that: a) the guest hasn't arrived yet and would probably like some too, and; b) I hadn't taken a picture yet. I immediately ran for the camera and did a close-up of what remained in the bowl.

They were very cumin heavy (by design, I assume) but the definitely had a Moroccan taste to them.
