Beet Carpaccio
"Here multicolored beets are presented carpaccio-style (paper-thin slices) with a sprinkling of crumbled blue cheese. Once hard to find, beautiful varieties of beets, such as pink-and-white-striped ‘Chioggia,’ electric-yellow ‘Golden Detroit’ and ruby-red ‘Moneta,’ are more readily available. Seek them out at farmers’ markets or supermarkets that stock local, in-season produce...."
