Avocado Tzatziki and Shaved Salad
An Original Recipe by Lorraine Elliott
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 5 minutes
- 2 golden beetroot, peeled
- 1/4 small target beetroot, peeled
- 1/2 carrot, peeled
- 1 radish
- 1 large avocado
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled
- 1/2 small red onion
- 1/2 cup natural yogurt
- Salt and pepper for seasoning
- 4 cherry tomatoes, halved
- small handful toasted walnuts
- A few sprigs parsley
- 1 tablespoon black sesame seeds
I found the mandolin sliced beetroot either too thick or thin but a good quality vegetable peeler does it juuust right!
Step 1 - First cut one and a half golden beetroot into six pieces. Steam for 10 minutes until soft. Meanwhile take a vegetable peeler and shave the other beetroots, carrot and radish. Place in a bowl of ice water until needed.
Step 2 - Then blend the avocado, garlic and red onion with the yogurt until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste. Then spread out onto a serving plate and top with the steamed beetroot, shaved beetroot, carrot, radishes, tomatoes, walnuts and parsley. You can cover the whole plate if you want or cover it partially. Finish with some black sesame seeds.
