I'm not usually a fan of beets, but this salad converted me! The citrus and feta cheese really take the edge off the beet flavor.

These citrus beets are a delight! The tang of the orange and lemon pairs so well with earthy, sweet beets. I especially liked the addition of pistachios, which added a nice crunch and a subtle nutty flavor.
