Yellow Squash and Zucchini Carpaccio

This Yellow Squash and Zucchini Carpaccio is a delicious, Vegetarian, healthy appetizer that is sure to please anyone!

Typically a Carpaccio is dish of raw meat or fish thinly sliced or pounded out flat. I decided to make a Vegetarian version by using Yellow Squash and Zucchini, slicing it very thin.

Not only is this delicious, but it’s also a beautiful presentation. Alternating the Yellow Squash and the Zucchini on a platter, then adding a handful of Sprouts to the center.

I also added some Capers and Sun-Dried Tomatoes around the Squash for more color and flavor.

Drizzled with a refreshing dressing made of Lemon Juice, EVOO, Mint, Basil, Salt, and Pepper… Wow!

Oh and don’t forget to top it off with shaved Pecorino Toscano D.O.P.! 🙂

You will be surprised how amazing the combination of all the ingredients are together.

It’s:

• Light
• Tasty
• Refreshing
• Beautiful
• and simply Orgasmik!
