Ingredients

8.8 oz cooked beets
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon honey
a pinch salt & pepper
2 tablespoon soft goat's cheese
1 tablespoon Greek yogurt
½ tablespoon roasted pistachio, chopped
½ tablespoon fresh mint leaves, chopped
1 lime, zest & juice
sea salt flakes

Instructions

In a bowl, combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
With a mandoline or sharp knife, slice the beets as thinly as possible. Add them to the bowl and toss gently. You can let them marinate up to a few hours in the fridge.
Arrange the marinated beets in overlapping layers on two individual plates or one large serving platter.
In a small bowl, mix the goat cheese and yogurt until smooth and creamy. Using two teaspoons, carefully place small dollops of the mixture over the beets.
Scatter pistachios and fresh mint leaves on top, then grate lime zest over the dish and drizzle with a few generous drops of lime juice. Finish with a sprinkle of sea salt flakes, and if desired, add a touch of freshly cracked black pepper and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil for added richness.
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

Prepare Ahead of Time: You can easily prepare the components of beet carpaccio in advance. Slice and marinate the beets, and mix the goat cheese and yogurt up to a day ahead, keeping them stored separately in the fridge. For optimal flavor and presentation, assemble the dish just before serving or up to 1 hour ahead, leaving the plates uncovered in the refrigerator until ready to enjoy.
Vegan Option: Replace the goat cheese and Greek yogurt with dairy-free cream cheese. You can stir in a bit of horseradish for a pungent flavor. Also, swap honey with maple syrup.
