Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons shelled pistachios
- 2 sumo mandarins (or large navel oranges), peeled and sliced into ¼” rounds
- 6-8 pre-cooked beets (one of these packages), rough ends trimmed off, sliced into ¼” rounds
- 2 limes (see instructions for prep)
- 1/2 avocado, thinly sliced
- 8 mint leaves, torn
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon hot honey
- Pinch of flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Prep the pistachios: add to a dry skillet over medium heat and toast for about 5-6 minutes or until fragrant, shaking occasionally to prevent burning. Remove to a cutting board, cool slightly and roughly chop.
- Meanwhile, arrange the oranges and beets on a serving plate. Supreme one of the limes and nestle the segments in between the oranges and beets. Add in the avocado slices.
- Drizzle everything with olive oil and hot honey. Season with a pinch of flaky sea salt.
- Scatter chopped pistachios and mint leaves over the top to finish.
