Receta Green Apple Carpaccio
Green Apple Carpaccio
As a starter to our Valentines Dinner I found a Green Apple Carpaccio recipe in the March/April 2010 of Clean Eating Magazine. Serves 4.
Ingredients-
- 1/2 shallot, minced
- 2 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1 tbsp 100% Apple Juice
- 2 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1/4 tsp Fine Sea Salt
- 1/8 tsp Black Pepper
- 1 Large Tart Green Apple
- 1 oz Arugula
- 2 tbsp crumbled Goat Cheese
Directions-
In a medium bowl, whisk together shallot, vinegar, juice, oil, salt and pepper. Set aside.
Cut apple crosswise into thin slices, discarding seeds. Arrange apple slices on a platter and drizzle with about half of dressing.
Add arugula to bowl with remaining dressing and toss. Arrange arugula on top of apples, top with goat cheese and serve.
The dressing added a nice acidity and tartness to the apple while the goat cheese was nice and creamy. The one difficulty with this recipe is getting the apples sliced thin enough, next time we would use our mandolin and get more thin and even slices. This may become our go to starter as we usually have most of the ingredients on hand and it more unique than just a plain salad.
