Main Ingredients- 2 medium beetroots
Dressing Ingredients- 1/2 Tbsp coarse salt
- 3.5 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 Tbsp whole grain mustard
- 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1/3 Tbsp sugar
- A pinch of black pepper
- 1/2 Tbsp coarse salt
- 3.5 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 Tbsp whole grain mustard
- 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1/3 Tbsp sugar
- A pinch of black pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by thoroughly washing the beetroots. Then, carefully peel them using a vegetable peeler. Wearing disposable gloves is recommended to avoid staining your hands.
Step 2
Once peeled, slice the beetroots as thinly and finely as possible. Using a mandoline slicer will help you achieve uniform, delicate strands quickly. Thin slicing ensures a tender texture.
Step 3
Place the julienned beetroot in a bowl and sprinkle with 1/2 Tbsp of coarse salt. Toss gently to coat, then let it sit for 10 minutes to salt cure. This step draws out excess moisture and enhances the beetroot’s crispness.
Step 4
After 10 minutes, drain the beetroot in a colander and firmly press out any excess water. Proper water removal is key to ensure the dressing flavors penetrate well and the dish isn’t diluted. Transfer the drained beetroot to a clean bowl. Add 3.5 Tbsp of extra virgin olive oil, 1 Tbsp of whole grain mustard, 1/2 Tbsp of fresh lemon juice, 1/2 Tbsp of fragrant apple cider vinegar, 1/3 Tbsp of sugar, and a pinch of black pepper.
Step 5
Gently mix all the ingredients together using chopsticks or a fork until everything is well combined. The beetroot will start to take on a beautiful, appetizing deep red hue as it melds with the dressing.
Step 6
Your delicious beetroot carpaccio is ready! It can be enjoyed immediately, or for an even more refreshing taste, chill it in the refrigerator for a short while. It’s wonderful served over a bed of greens or used as a flavorful filling for sandwiches.
