Safeyya’s Tip: Peel the skin on the other avocado half, sprinkle with lemon and lime juice, and smooth out any nicks. Slice thinly with a sharp paring knife. Slowly fan out avocado slices so that they form a long line with the slices overlapping each other. Remove the small slices from the ends to make the rose easier to shape. Starting from one end, curl avocado slices toward the center and keep curling until you get a rose. Sprinkle with your favorite seasonings and top with your favorite things (we recommend eggs, smoked salmon, sprouts, cheese, and fresh herbs)
