• 1 cooked red beetroot
• juice of 1 lime
• 4 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 tsp ground cumin

3. Halve the avocados, remove the pit, and dice the flesh.
4. Cut the feta into cubes.
5. Slice the cucumber lengthwise into thin strips, then cut into squares (for 'tiles').
6. Finely chop the red onion.
7. Mix lamb's lettuce, mango and beet cubes, avocado, black beans, feta, and red onion in a bowl.
8. Whisk together lime juice, olive oil, honey, cumin, salt, and pepper for the dressing.
9. Toss the dressing through the salad.

11. Decorate the star with mango and beetroot stars as 'Walk of Fame' stars on top.

Serving notes

• Serve on a square platter for the Walk of Fame effect.
