20 sweet and savory ways to do meatless carpaccio

Strawberry carpaccio

For a full-flavored, easy-to-prepare dessert, strawberry carpaccio is the way to go. Prepare a simple sugar syrup by heating 3 1/3 tablespoons water with 1/3 cup sugar. Once cooled, add 1 teaspoon rose water. Wash and thinly slice 4 cups fresh strawberries, and divide them up among 4 dessert plates. Drizzle with the sugar syrup, and top with 1/4 cup crushed pistachios. Or you can add basil strips and pine nuts instead.
