Carpaccio is traditionally a dish of paper-thin slices of raw beef served with a drizzle of olive oil, lemon juice, and often capers. This jewel-toned vegetarian spin features the taste of earthy, thinly-sliced raw beets, the crunch and spiciness of radishes, lacy leaves of peppery arugula, and the umami flavor of the Parmesan shavings. When shopping, look for smaller beets with firm yet yielding texture for the best flavor. This vibrant salad is a delicious showstopper for a special occasion meal.

Shallot
3 Tbsp, chopped, minced
Red wine vinegar

Instructions
1
Whisk together shallot, vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper in small bowl; slowly whisk in oil and set aside.
