Crisp & Sweet Apple Carpaccio
How to Make Simple and Elegant Apple Carpaccio at Home
Inspired by the delightful apple carpaccio prepared by actress Ra Mi-ran on the travel show ‘Outside the Tent in Europe – Italy Edition’, this recipe brings a touch of sophisticated flavor right to your kitchen. It’s a refreshing appetizer or light dessert bursting with the natural sweetness of apples, complemented by a tangy dressing and creamy yogurt.
Key Ingredients
- 1/2 Apple (choose a fresh, crisp variety)
- 2 Tbsp Greek Yogurt
- 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
- Pinch of Salt
- Pinch of Black Pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by washing the apple thoroughly. Remove the core and then slice the apple as thinly as possible. The thinner the slices, the more delicate and melt-in-your-mouth the carpaccio will be. Arrange the apple slices on a serving plate, overlapping them slightly to create a beautiful, layered presentation, almost like flower petals.
Step 2
Next, sprinkle your chosen nuts evenly over the apple slices. Nuts add a wonderful crunchy texture and a rich, nutty flavor that enhances the overall taste of the carpaccio. You can chop them finely or use them whole, depending on your preference. Walnuts, almonds, or pecans all work beautifully.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and lemon juice to create a simple, vibrant dressing. Drizzle this dressing generously over the apple and nut mixture. Then, dollop spoonfuls of Greek yogurt sporadically across the plate. The creamy tang of the yogurt perfectly balances the sweetness of the apple.
Step 4
Finally, garnish with fresh herb leaves for a burst of freshness and color. Finish with a delicate pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper. The salt and pepper will heighten the natural flavors of the ingredients. Your elegant and delicious apple carpaccio is now ready to be enjoyed! It’s a wonderfully light dish, perfect for any occasion.
