Receta Moroccan Beet Salad
This is a classic beet salad. If you like beets, you're going to really enjoy this. My personal preference is to boil the beets as little as possible That way they still have a crunch to them but aren't as hard as raw beets. I think raw beets are perfectly delicious, and I don't like them soft, so I boil them just enough to soften the edges. I'd recommend starting with about an 1/8th of a teaspoon of cayenne, and then add the other 1/8th if you want more kick.
