Apple Carpaccio Wreath

We’ve made it to the end of November 2020 and the festive season is on the horizon!

After navigating this year it feels like a relief to start thinking about the festive season and I think this Apple Carpaccio Wreath made with sweet and crunchy JOYA® Apples is a fantastic way to start planning.

This is such an easy recipe and shines with layers of texture. Thinly sliced JOYA® Apple wedges, topped with smoked trout ribbons, chopped toasted nuts, caper berries and fresh dill. Add a few slices of lemon and a dressing of your choice and it’s done. Packing it in the shape of a wreath makes it festive and celebratory in a flash. Add a few Christmas ribbons and decorations and you are guaranteed some oohs and aahs from family and friends.

You could replace the smoked trout with salmon, in fact, any smoked fish works well with the crunchy sweetness of the JOYA® Apples. Use any nuts of your choice or replace them with a seed mix. I kept the dressing to a simple vinaigrette but you could make a creamier dressing with yoghurt or mayonnaise. The options are endless really. And making individual Apple Carpaccio Wreaths and serving it as a plated starter for a summery outdoor lunch would be such a hit.
