By Abigail Donnelly

Serves 8

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 15 minutes

Ingredients

6 micro golden beetroots, washed
6 micro candied beetroots, washed
6 micro white beetroots, washed
6 micro magenta beetroots, washed
2 standard beetroots, washed
1 T honey
3 T olive oil

2 t English mustard
1 T vinegar
Salad leaves, rinsed
1 x 100 g log chevin, sliced

Using a mandolin or very sharp knife, cut ultra-thin slices of the different beetroot varieties.

To make the dressing, combine the lemon juice, honey, olive oil, garlic, mustard and vinegar until creamy. Arrange the fresh salad leaves in the bases of eight teacups.
Top with beetroot slivers and slices of chevin, then drizzle with the dressing.
Scatter over the edamame beans and season to taste.
