Tips for Molecular Carpaccio Salad

  • The foam should look airy and glossy; if it stays liquid, give it a little more blending before serving.
  • Use a narrow, deep blending cup if available so the blender can incorporate air into the small amount of orange mixture.
  • Have the plate ready before blending, since the foam is at its best soon after it is made.

Storage

This raw carpaccio salad is best eaten fresh the same day. Keep leftovers covered and refrigerated, and discard them if they have been left out for more than 2 hours.

Frequently asked questions

How can I tell when the orange foam is ready?

It should look aerated and hold a light, foamy appearance briefly; it may settle as it sits.

Can I make the foam ahead?

It is best made just before serving because the airy texture can collapse. You can measure the ingredients ahead to save time.

What should I serve with this carpaccio?

Serve it as a light starter, or alongside crisp bread and a simple green salad for a more substantial plate.
