Golden Summer Carpaccio
Golden Summer Carpaccio is a beauty…has the vibe of a Van Gogh sunflower! Just thinly slice the mango, avocado, and figs (to the best of your ability 😉) to create the “carpaccio” effect. There’s no cooking involved with this recipe which is typical for a carpaccio dish. And the “sunflower” tastes as delicious as it looks!

Organize the ingredients – mango, avocado, fresh figs, fried shallots, almonds, olive oil, balsamic glaze, kosher salt and freshly ground pepper.
Thinly Slicing the Fruit
Thinly slice the mango, avocado and figs by hand. The slices don’t need to be perfect or uniform, just do the best you can!
Assembling the Dish
Arrange mango slices on the outside perimeter of a platter. Next add avocado slices below and slightly overlapping the mango. Then, in the center, layer in the sliced figs in the middle.

Drizzle olive oil and balsamic glaze over the fruit. Season with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Top with fried shallots and almonds for some crunch. Finish with some fresh herbs, if desired, and serve!
