Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash the beets thoroughly to remove any dirt.

- Place the wrapped beets on a baking sheet.
- Roast in the preheated oven for about 45-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
- Remove the roasted beets from the oven and carefully unwrap them (they will be hot, so use caution).
- Allow the beets to cool until they are easy to handle.

- In a large bowl, combine the chopped beets and finely chopped onion.
- Add the pistachio nuts and crumbled feta cheese to the bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and vinegar.

- Pour the dressing over the beet mixture.
- Toss gently to ensure all ingredients are well coated with the dressing.
- Transfer the salad to a serving dish or individual plates.
- Optionally, garnish with additional pistachios or a sprinkle of feta for presentation.
Tips:
- For an extra boost of flavor, consider roasting the beets with a splash of balsamic vinegar.
- You can toast the pistachio nuts lightly in a dry skillet to enhance their flavor and crunch.
- Use high-quality olive oil and vinegar to dress the salad for the best taste.
- Feel free to add in some fresh herbs like parsley or mint for an added layer of freshness.
- If you prefer a more tangy taste, increase the amount of vinegar or add a squeeze of lemon juice.
