A recipe from the kitchen of Tami Tzori of CityTree, Tel Aviv.

This is a bright, raw beet dish built from thin slices, lemon, radish, and mint-infused olive oil. The dried almond pulp is a good example of Tami’s low-waste kitchen: after making almond milk, she dries the leftover almond solids and uses them as a delicate, nutty topping.
