2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 cup grapeseed oil or other mild vegetable oil
2 Hass avocados, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
3 oz. goat cheese

With the machine on, add the grapeseed oil and the 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a steady stream. 3. Next make your goat cheese medallions. Slice your goat cheese in discs and and roll in ground pistachios. I ground my pistachios in my mini food processor. You can make these ahead of time and cover them in Saran Wrap and put them in the refrigerator 4. Slice your beets (I usually put 3 on the plate) And then 3 small slices of avocado. (I don't slice the avocado until the last minute because it will turn brown) Add one medallion of goat cheese Then drizzle the dressing. (blend up the dressing one more time right before serving) I usually put extra dressing on the table if ppl want more.rve. Make Ahead The roasted beets and dressing can be refrigerated overnight.
