A vibrant beet carpaccio makes a satisfying vegetarian appetizer or meal. Carpaccio (pronounced car-PAH-chee-oh) is a traditional Italian dish that is typically made with thin slices of raw beef. However, carpaccio can refer to any thinly sliced meat, fish, or vegetable dish that is served with traditional olive oil and lemon dressing.

- Only use the TM6® black measuring cup when using Peeler Mode. If not available, place simmering basket instead of clear measuring cup onto mixing bowl lid when using Peeler Mode.
- Beets can be sliced or cut into chunks.
