Ingredients:

Serving

3 large red beets (1 2/3 lb without greens )
2 large golden beets (1 lb without greens )
1/4 cup minced shallot
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 cup pistachio oil
4 oz soft mild goat cheese
3 tbsp salted shelled pistachios ( not dyed red), coarsely chopped
1 oz mache (also called lamb's lettuce), trimmed (4 cups)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425°F.
Separately wrap red and golden beets tightly in double layers of foil and roast in middle of oven until tender, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Unwrap beets.
While beets are cooling slightly, whisk together shallot, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl, then add oil in a stream, whisking.
When beets are cool enough to handle, slip off and discard skins. Separately cut red and golden beets into 1/4-inch dice and put in separate bowls. Add 2 1/2 tablespoons dressing to each bowl and toss to coat.
Place cookie cutter in center of 1 of 8 salad plates. Put one eighth of red beets in cutter and pack down with your fingertips. Crumble 2 teaspoons goat cheese on top, then one eighth of golden beets, packing them down. Gently lift cutter up and away from stack. Make 7 more servings in same manner. Drizzle each plate with 1 teaspoon dressing and scatter with some pistachios.
Toss mâche with just enough remaining dressing to coat and gently mound on top of beets. Serve immediately.
Cooks' notes: Beets can be roasted and diced 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Bring to room temperature before using. Molded beet salad (without mâche) can be assembled 45 minutes ahead and kept, covered, at cool room temperature.
