Ingredients:
Instructions:

- 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.
