Beet Salad

When I was growing up, mom would turn leftover beets into a salad using mayonaise. I didn't particularly care for it. But someone mentioned that that beets pairs well with balsalmic vinegar and lemon. Hmmmm so I tossed together a quick recipe with some leftover beets and I ended up rather enjoying it!
