                        - 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.)
