Place the slices into a bowl and toss with half of the lemon juice. Set aside. (The lemon juice will help preserve the color of the beets when you cook them so let them sit at least 10 minutes while you prep everything else.)Make the dressing: Mix together vinegar sour cream tarragon and sugar with a wire whisk until well-blended. Slowly add the olive oil while whisking constantly to create an emulsion. Add salt and white pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.Bring water to a boil in a large pot that has a steamer tray. Prepare and ice bath in a bowl with ice cubes and very cold water. Add salt and the remaining lemon juice to the water. Once boiling place beet slices on the streamer tray (its alright if they overlap slightly). Cover and steam for 5-6 minutes or until tender yet firm. Briefly shock the beets in the ice bath to stop the cooking then drain.Layer the beets and onions on four small plates. Sprinkle with pistachios and feta cheese crumbles. Make sure the dressing is well-stirred then lightly drizzle over the salad. |15.00 minutes|4|Pop Artichoke
