/ck/ - Food & Cooking

My household is comprised of some very dedicated meat-eaters. They were a bit skeptical when I announced what the challenge was for this week. Luckily, everyone was pleased with the results of my hard work and we celebrated Labor Day in an unconventional way by giving the grill a rest.
I created a vegetarian meal worthy of a holiday or special occasion. It is balanced by taste, color, nutrition, and texture. There are three parts to this dish making up a single entry.

The first part is a Carpaccio of roasted beats and pink lady apples presented over a celery leaf, Belgian endive, and cucumber slaw. It is bright and refreshing. The earthy beets are sweet and mix well with the crisp apples. The slaw is like a summer cocktail and has a delightful crunch.
