* micro-greens (optional)

* chives

* Parmesan shavings

* walnuts / pumpkin seeds / pistacchio

Process

* Peel and thinly slice beets; arrange slices on a large flat plate.

* Thinly slice pear and lay down in petals on top of beet slices.

Looks good, but I just tried pomegranite arils (before, I'd only drunk pomegranite juice) and I found them very woody and virtually indigestible. Also, in the past, I've found beets very bitter, unless pickled or served in Harvard sauce that overpowers their base taste...

Sounds like my favourite beetroot salad, some variety to that one will make the kids more willing to enjoy it so much as I do!
