                       - triangles
                       Cream cheese
                       Cherry tomatoes
                       Tuna or deviled ham salad
                       Black and green olives
                       Green onions
                       Whatever else you want

 This is basically an antipasto salad, more or less.

 Get out a beautiful glass serving tray or any other large serving
 tray and arrang carefully the following:

 Make carrot curls. Use a potato peeler to give you long, thin
 strips. Roll up strips and crowd, side by side, in a deep bowl.
 Cover with water and chill.

 For celery branches, cut vcelery stalk in 3" lengths and make small
 slices on each end--not quite through to the middle. Place in bowl,
 cover with water and chill.

 For radishes, make many "almost through" slices on the tip. They
 will open after they've been placed in a bowl, covered with water
 and chilled. (Carrots will curl, radishes will open, and celery
 will turn into miniature branches if, after they are cut, they are
 submerged into a bowl of cold water and refrigerated a few hours or
 overnight.)
