Tomato Carpaccio
Another week has gone by and I am late with my next blog post. I decided to reiterate on the tomato carpaccio so that I can hopefully inspire you to prepare some fresh food for the weekend.
I have already posted a story on Instagram about how to prepare it, here is the link.
But let us start from the beginning. First of all, when I did this dish I have to admit — I had shitty tomatoes. You need good, sweet, fresh tomatoes for this dish. GET SOME. No tomatoes no lunch :D
Once you get some good flavorful tomatoes you can prepare your carpaccio and you are pretty free about what to put on top of the tomatoes. This is how I made it.

You will need:
- 2 tomatoes
- spring onions
- feta cheese
- pomegranate seeds
- pistachio nuts
- Dijon mustard
- honey
- salt and pepper
- Slice your tomatoes thinly— very thinly! And lay them out on a plate.
2. Chop some spring onions and sprinkle them on top of the tomatoes.
3. Crush some feta cheese and add on top of the tomatoes — in can really be any white cheese you like. I like feta because it is salty :)
4. Make the dressing: mix 50/50 dijon mustard and honey and pour it over the feta cheese.
5. Add the pomegranate seeds, chopped pistachio nuts and season with salt&pepper. Your carpaccio is ready!!
This was super easy, wasn’t it? It looks great, tastes great and it is perfect for a refreshing summer lunch on the weekend. Enjoy!
Bon Appétit,
