Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 yellow bell pepper
- 1 cucumber
- 1 ripe avocado
- 150 g cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 red onion
- 2 tbsp capers
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 handful microgreens for garnish
- crackers or toasted bread (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Wash and dry all the vegetables thoroughly.
Finely dice the red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, cucumber, and avocado into small, uniform pieces. Place them in a mixing bowl.
Cut the cherry tomatoes into quarters, remove the seeds if desired, and finely dice the flesh. Add to the mixing bowl.
Finely chop the red onion and add it to the bowl along with the capers and chopped fresh parsley.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the diced vegetables and gently toss with a spoon to coat evenly, being careful not to mash the avocado.
Taste and adjust the seasonings if needed with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice.
Use a ring mold or food plating mold to shape the vegetable tartare on individual plates for a professional presentation, pressing it gently into the mold before lifting it away.
Garnish with microgreens and serve immediately with crackers or toasted bread if desired.
