Instructions
For the vinaigrette, heat all of the ingredients – except the beetroot slices – in a small pot over medium heat. Allow to simmer, 5 minutes. Remove from heat, allow to cool and season to taste.
Place the sliced beetroot in a large bowl. Pour over the marinade, cover with cling film and refrigerate to marinate, 2 hours or preferably overnight.
For the salsa, mix all of the ingredients together in a bowl.
Remove the beetroot carpaccio from the fridge and lay the slices on a serving platter, discarding the marinade. Top with the remaining salad ingredients and the avocado salsa. Garnish with microherbs, season to taste and add a lemon wedge for squeezing.
