Love beets! Always roast them for salads. I'll see if I can slice thin enough for this salad.

That photos can't be correct; it looks like cooked beets from a can! The recipe only works if the beets are very young and sliced ultra-thinly. And then they need to marinate to soften. I prefer to shred raw beets for salads.
Seasoning needs more cumin seed, and they should be toasted. We prefer a more assertive olive oil, but that's a matter of taste.
