This Vegetable Ribbon Tart is basically salad sitting on puff pastry. I like both those things, so I was game to make this for lunch. Not sure that leftovers would hold so well, I decided to make a smaller tart. I didn’t measure anything, but started by baking a rectangle of puff that looked just big enough for two. The base is topped with a thick smear of hummus and lots of thin-sliced and shaved veggies. I used carrots, cukes, red pepper, fennel, tomatoes and roasted beets tossed in a vinaigrette made with za’atar and a splash of sesame oil (this really makes the dressing, imo). It’s light and fresh and a jammy egg or two help make it more filling. If I make this again, I’ll try salt massaging the ribbons of carrot and cucumber to extract a bit of water before I dress them. I think it would make them more pliable and easier to curlicue around the tart.

If you don’t have the book Baking with Dorie: Sweet, Salty & Simple by Dorie Greenspan, get it and join us as we bake through it twice a month. Don’t forget to check out the rest of the TWD Blogroll!

That looks delicious and summery. I’m having my leftovers for lunch today, so we’ll see how it holds up.

Perfection. Looks too good to eat (but I’d love to!)

Your freestyle tart looks pretty. My husband is not on board for the raw vegetables. I like your addition of roasted beets. I need to work on a cooked vegetable version.

I would love a salad just like this on top of puff pastry anyday. It’s very thoughtful on your part to suggest extracting the water out of the veggies.

Yours looks fabulous…wish I had read yours before baking mine…good advice! Love the idea of just a salad on top because that dressing was really good!
