To save assembly time, make the pistachios ahead of time and store in the refrigerator in an airtight container or you could use an equal amount of chopped toasted pistachios. Cook's Illustrated had this recipe in their Nov/Dec 2006 edition.

BEET, ORANGE AND ARUGULA SALAD



Beet, Orange and Arugula Salad image

The oranges in this sweet and pungent salad will look like blood oranges after they sit for a little while with the beets. This makes a pretty Christmas salad. Try to find the wispy wild arugula, which is more pungent than regular arugula.
