Add grapeseed oil and heat over medium-high heat until it reaches 350F.

To prepare tartare: Mash beets coarsely with 2 teaspoons oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl.

Gently mash avocados with 1 teaspoon oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt in another bowl.

Place a 3 1/4-inch ring mold on a serving plate.

Press one-fourth of the beet mixture into the bottom of the mold.

Add one-fourth of the avocado mixture and press flat.

Top with one-fourth of the mango mixture and flatten the top.

Gently pull the mold off.

Rinse and dry the mold.

Repeat to make 4 servings.

Drizzle the dressing over each.

Serve with the plantain chips.
