Ingredients:
– 1 medium cooked beetroot(peeled & firm)
– 1 ripe but firm mango (peeled)
– 1 ripe but firm avocado (peeled & pitted)
– 1 tbsp lime or lemon juice (to prevent browning)
For the Citrus Dressing (optional):
– 2 tbsp orange or lime juice
– 1 tbsp honey or agave syrup
– 1 tbsp olive oil**
– Pinch of salt & chili flakes
Instructions:
1. Prep the Ingredients:
-Beetroot: Cook (boil or roast) until tender but still firm. Chill, then peel and pat dry.
– Mango & Avocado: Choose slightly underripe fruit for easier cubing. Peel carefully.
2. Cut into Perfect Cubes (1 cm / ½ inch):
– Slice each ingredient into even slabs, then into sticks, and finally into small cubes.
– Tip: Use a sharp knife and wipe it between fruits to avoid color bleeding.
– Toss avocado cubes in lime juice to prevent browning.
3. Assemble the Rubik’s Cube:
Option 1 : Free-Form Layered Cube
– Gently press layers together for stability.
Option 2: Stacked Mini Cubes (for precision)
– Use a small square mold (or clean Lego brick mold!) to layer cubes tightly.
– Invert onto the plate and lift the mold carefully.
4. Garnish & Serve:
– Drizzle with herb green oil or citrus dressing around the cube (not on top, to avoid smudging).
– Sprinkle with microgreens, edible flowers, or flaky salt.
– Serve immediately (avocado softens over time).
