Wash beets and cut into half. Prepare a steamer and steam the beets until tender. Once cooked, peel the skin off and cut into bite-size pieces.
Segment blood oranges by cutting the top and bottom off, trimming the skin and cutting into each segment. Keep the top and bottom of the orange for later use.
Rough chop flat parsley, mint and pistachios.
To make bloody vinaigrette, whisk all the ingredients vigorously in a bowl until it becomes creamy (emulsify).
