Instructions

  1. Step 1: Place 6 large fresh oysters in a bowl and drizzle with 2 tbsp lemon juice. Let sit for 5 minutes to tenderize and brighten the flavor, then gently pat dry with paper towels.
  2. Step 2: In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup grated beetroot, 1/2 cup thinly sliced radish, and 1 tbsp chopped dill. Add 1 tbsp olive oil and 1/8 tsp sea salt, then toss vigorously until the vegetables are evenly coated and the beets release their natural juices.
  3. Step 3: Gently fold the marinated oysters into the beetroot mixture until fully integrated, ensuring each oyster is coated. Serve immediately for optimal texture and flavor.
