Instructions
Step 1
Start by slicing the cooked beets into thin rings. You can use a sharp knife to ensure even cuts. Make sure each slice is uniform for an appealing presentation.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, liquid honey, and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Stir well to create a smooth dressing.
Add the thinly sliced spring onions to the mixture and season with salt and pepper to taste. This fresh sauce will enhance the flavors of the beets.
Step 3
Place the sliced beets in a dish and pour the sauce over them. Let the beets marinate for about 10 to 15 minutes so they absorb the flavors from the sauce.
Step 4
Once marinated, arrange the beets on a platter. Sprinkle them with crumbled feta cheese and chopped walnuts or pecans. Drizzle any remaining sauce over the top.
For a finishing touch, garnish with chopped parsley and optional mint leaves for added freshness. This will make your dish visually appealing and delicious.
Step 5
Your delicious Beet Carpaccio is ready to be enjoyed as a delightful side dish or snack. Serve it with your favorite bread for a heartier meal. Bon appétit!
Servings
For a **colorful picnic spread** 🧺, serve Beet Carpaccio alongside a variety of artisan breads, creamy spreads, and crunchy bites. Picture a sunny afternoon with friends, laughter in the air, and this showstopper in the center of your table!
