My favorite appetizer when I go to a local Italian spot near me is the beef carpaccio. Thin sliced raw beef, arugula and shaved Asiago. Here I used rare roast beef and made a lemon vinaigrette. My husband loved it! You can serve this as an appetizer for four or have it as a lunch for two. For a vegetarian option see Zucchini Carpaccio.

Double this recipe! So good. I took it to my annual holiday group soup and salad friend group party and it was completely gone in minutes. Good thing I doubled the recipe! It will be my go-to and now my entire friend group has asked for the recipe to give their families over the holidays. It’s so easy to put together- light but still feels decadent. I used whole foods deli herb rubbed very thin sliced roast beef. Perfection!
I'm sure it's great with balsamic, the points should stay the same. I like to add capers to this too!
I made this a couple weeks ago and loved it! I also tried it with balsamic and it was really good too. I didn't check to see if the points value went up or not when I used balsamic, but it was tasty.
I know! I always look for it on the menu. It seems some of the more upscale Italian restaurants have it. I love the combination of flavors!!
By far my favorite appetizer. I have found that not all italian restaurants have it on their menu, but when they do I get it. I am definitely going to try this. Thanks.
I bought this at the deli for a quick appetizer, but nothing beats homemade!! I have a recipe for homemade roast beef on my site. So simple to make!!
Oh Gina, this is my favorite appetizer at a local italian restaurant near my home as well! Did you find your roast beef at the deli? Or make it yourself? Thanks for this recipe!
