Vegetable Carpaccio Salad
Vegetable Carpaccio Salad is an elegant, fresh, and completely plant-based appetizer! Adapted from the typical Italian Carpaccio serving style. Fresh vegetables are sliced so thinly that they are transparent, arranged neatly on a plate, then drizzled with olive oil and freshly squeezed orange juice. This dish is very special because it highlights the original taste of vegetables with a soft crunchy texture, a very beautiful appearance and bright colors, and does not require any cooking at all. Very healthy, light and appetizing!
