3.Using a mandolin, thinly slice beetroot into rounds and place in a large bowl, add ¼ cup sherry vinegar and sugar and marinate for 10 minutes, then drain beetroot.
4.To serve, divide beetroot, tuna, spinach and avocado among 6 plates, top with feta, then drizzle with remaining sherry vinegar and pistachio oil.
