Ingredients
- 1 large Carrot
- 1 medium Zucchini
- 1 small to medium Beet
- 10 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 5 stalks Chives
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Peel the carrot and use a vegetable peeler or mandolin to create long, thin ribbons. These will form a delicate petal-like texture.
Step 2
Repeat the same process with the zucchini, peeling it into long ribbons. Lightly salt the ribbons and let them rest for 5 minutes to soften slightly.
Step 3
Using the beet, create small discs or spirals by slicing it thinly with a sharp knife or a mandolin. These will serve as vibrant accents.
Step 4
Rinse the salt off the zucchini ribbons and pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 5
Lay the carrot and zucchini ribbons flat. Roll each ribbon loosely to mimic a floral rose shape.
Step 6
Arrange the ribbons and beet slices artistically on your plate as a garnish, grouping them to resemble a bouquet.
Step 7
Tuck fresh mint leaves and chive stalks between the ribbons for an aromatic, herbal accent.
Step 8
Sprinkle the lemon zest lightly over the garnish and finish with a tiny drizzle of olive oil for a touch of shine and flavor.
Step 9
Serve this floral-inspired garnish on top of salads, grilled proteins, or as a stand-alone decorative element for a styled dish.
