Allow the baked beets to cool slightly before peeling them. 
Taste the salad before serving and adjust the amount of lemon juice, sugar, and salt according to your preference.
Chill before serving for the best flavor. Refrigerate the salad for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
