#Goatcheese and beet is a classic combination, and a marriage made in heaven. Keeping those base flavors intact is the key while adding another dimension to something very classic. I just tried to add more depth to the textures and slight hit of sweetness and capsaicin as it rolls across the palette and crunch and sweetness from the sweet potato crisp. The only way to ensure that the whole experience is subtle and flavorful is to have a chilli with right capsaicin (heat level), which do not send panic signal to your pain pathways ☺. The dragon fruit gives freshness and vibrancy to the whole combination, so I suggest you try and get this rather than substituting of discarding from the recipe, though it will work ☺. You don’t have to bother too much on the presentation part as you can use your own imagination, but the elements that go in to the recipe.
