Roasting the beets for this salad concentrates their naturally earthy flavor. You can save time by spreading the beets in a cake pan or on a small baking sheet and covering the pan with foil rather than wrapping each beet individually.

3 pounds medium beets
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 teaspoon sweet paprika
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
Coarse sea salt

Preheat the oven to 350°. Spread the beets in a cake pan and cover with foil. Bake the beets until tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Let the beets cool slightly, then peel and cut them into 1/4-inch-thick strips.
In a large bowl, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, paprika and cumin. Add the beets and toss to coat. Season the salad with salt and toss again. Serve at room temperature or lightly chilled.

Make Ahead The salad can be refrigerated for 2 days. Let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes before serving. Serve With Grilled Swordfish Kebabs.
