Cooking instruction summary:

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Rinse, dry, and trim the beets (don’t worry about peeling), then drizzle with olive oil and wrap loosely in a sheet of aluminum foil, creating a sealed pouch. Place onto a metal baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes to an hour until a fork inserts easily. Once cooked, remove the beets from the oven, open the foil pouch to allow steam to escape, and let cool for about 10 minutes. Then, using the dull edge of a knife, gently peel away the skin of the beets and discard. Cut the peeled beets into quarters or sixths, depending on size, then set them aside to cool completely.While the beets are cooling, prepare the vinaigrette. Whisk together the olive oil, clementine zest and juice, honey, a pinch or two of salt, and several cranks of fresh black pepper. Taste the mixture and adjust the amount of honey, salt, and pepper to suit your preference.Cut the thick pink stems from the base of the beet leaves, then slice the greens roughly into ¼ inch strips (about 4 cups of sliced greens is ideal). Cut the red onion into thin, half-moon slices.In a bowl or lidded container, combine the prepared beets, greens, and red onions. Pour the vinaigrette over the vegetables, tossing to coat, then cover and transfer to the refrigerator. Allow the mixture to marinate for at least 8 hours or overnight.Prior to serving, toss the refrigerated mixture, taste, and add any additional salt and pepper that may be needed. Transfer to a platter or individual serving dishes, sprinkling the crumbled goat cheese and chopped pistachios on top just prior to serving.
