Beet Salad with Grapefruit and Pistachios

For the beet salad with grapefruits and pistachios, first wash the beets and boil them for 30 to 45 minutes, depending on their size. Then drain them, rinse them in ice water, remove them with a skimmer and let them cool down a bit.

Meanwhile, peel the grapefruit, removing the white skin completely. Slice the flesh, reserving the juice, and mix in a bowl with the vinegar, honey, salt and pepper, then whisk in the oil.

Toast the pistachios in a pan without fat, if desired, and then chop them coarsely. Peel the beet, cut into slices about 0.5 cm thin and quickly mix with the marinade.

Cut the avocado in half lengthwise, remove the stone, scoop out the flesh with a spoon, cut into wedges about 1 cm thick and mix carefully with the beets and grapefruits. Then mix in the leaf lettuce.

Arrange the salad on plates, sprinkle with the chopped pistachios and serve immediately.
