Notes
- Fresh vegetables add color and crunch. Cucumbers and tomatoes are typical additions, but other great choices include radishes, red bell peppers and baby carrots.
- Check out the olive bar at your local grocery store and choose an assortment of black and green olives in different sizes and shapes.
- I use a lot of pickled and roasted cold veggies like artichoke hearts, marinated mushrooms and cherry peppers.
