1 golden beet, peeled and sliced very thin

1 ripe tomato, sliced very thin

1 bulb of fennel, sliced very thin
-
1 broccoli floret, sliced very thin

1 tablespoon fresh basil or parsley
-
1 lemon
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
Black pepper to taste
-
1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese, grated
Directions:
-
Slice the vegetables very thin. It helps to trim a little off the bottom of the beet so it remains stable on the cutting board.

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.
-
Sprinkle the platter with the lemon juice and olive oil followed by the basil, pepper, and Parmesan cheese.
