Beetroot Carpaccio - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I substitute the wine vinegar in the dressing?

Yes! You can use apple cider vinegar or lemon juice as a substitute for wine vinegar. Both will add a bright acidity to the dressing.

How long does beetroot carpaccio last in the fridge?

Properly stored in an airtight container, beetroot carpaccio will stay fresh for up to 3 days. The dressing helps preserve it, but the beets may soften over time.

Is beetroot carpaccio suitable for vegans?

Yes! This recipe is naturally vegan as long as the mustard used doesn't contain honey or other animal products.

Can I use pre-cooked beets for this recipe?

Absolutely. Pre-cooked or vacuum-packed beets work perfectly for carpaccio—just make sure they're cooled before slicing.

What's the best way to slice beets thinly for carpaccio?

Use a sharp knife or a mandoline for paper-thin slices. If using a mandoline, be careful and use a guard to protect your fingers.

Can I make this dish ahead of time for a party?

Yes! Assemble it 1-2 hours before serving so the flavors meld. Add the balsamic drizzle just before serving for the best presentation.

What are some serving suggestions for beetroot carpaccio?

Pair it with fresh arugula, crumbled goat cheese, or walnuts for extra texture. It also works well as an elegant starter on its own.

How can I adjust this for a low-carb diet?

This dish is already low-carb friendly. Just be mindful of portion sizes if using sweeter balsamic reductions.

Can I freeze beetroot carpaccio?

Freezing isn't recommended as the texture of the beets will become mushy after thawing. It's best enjoyed fresh.

What if I don't have balsamic sauce for the drizzle?

You can make a quick reduction by simmering balsamic vinegar until slightly thickened, or skip it—the dressing alone adds plenty of flavor.
