Method

  1. Slice the vegetables very thin. It helps to trim a little off the bottom of the beetroot so it remains stable on the cutting board.
  2. Arrange the vegetables on a platter in the manner shown in the photo. It is important to keep your pattern neat and symmetrical. Using a large platter is ideal.
  3. Sprinkle the platter with the lemon juice and olive oil followed by the basil, pepper and Parmesan cheese.
  4. Serve immediately.
