Add the lemon juice, a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, salt, and black pepper to taste. Mash the avocado with a fork until it reaches a creamy consistency. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate to keep it fresh.

Make the Cheese Mixture:
In a separate bowl, combine the fresh spreadable cheese, the zest of one unwaxed lemon, salt, black pepper, and a few sprigs of thyme. Finely chop the chives using scissors and add them to the mixture. Drizzle with olive oil and mix well. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge to firm up slightly. -
Prepare the Beetroot Tartare:
Peel the pre-cooked beetroot and cut it into small cubes. Then, finely chop the cubes into even smaller pieces to create a tartare-like texture. Place the beetroot tartare in a bowl and season with olive oil, salt, and a few drops of Tabasco® for a hint of heat. Mix everything together thoroughly. -
Assemble the Tartare:
Place a 6×6 cm square mold (or adjust the size depending on your preference) on a serving plate. Start by adding a layer of the avocado mixture, pressing it gently with the back of a spoon to level it out. Then, add the beetroot tartare on top, pressing it down to compact the layer. -
Finish and Serve:
Carefully remove the mold, and garnish the top of your beetroot and avocado tartare with some freshly grated lemon zest for an extra burst of flavor. Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to enjoy.
