1 small shallot (3/4 cut into thin slices and 1/4 finely chopped for the dressing)
1 cup organic baby tomatoes (cut into quarters)
1 handful roasted almonds
1 small mango (3/4 cut into cubes and 1/4 for the dressing)
1 avocado (1 half cut into cubes and the other for making the avocado rose)
Sesame seeds (for garnishment)

Spread on the pan and toss some sea salt once nice and golden.
