Boil in a 3 quart saucepan until tender, covered.
Allow the water to cool, then slip off the skins, trim off the tops, and cut into bite-sized pieces.
Mix the remaining ingredients and pour over the beets.
Let marinate for 1 hour before serving.
Beet Salad II: Prepare as described above, but add 1 tsp. orange flower water, ⅛ teaspoon cumin, a pinch of paprika, and a little water to the sauce.
