Philosophy of this dish:
You are going to make three invidividual dishes that you can serve on one traditional
four-section crystal platter. One section is a ring inside the pattern, kind of like the
hub on a wheel. The other three sections evenly divide the remaining part of the platter,
as though you have three spokes coming from the hub. Inside those spokes, you'll have a green
section, a white section, and a red section. In the center, you'll have
a nut mix.
First, you'll make the base. From that, you'll make the gree, white, and red parts.
It's a complicated dish, but impressive--and oh, so good! Make this when you want to be
the talk of the party. Keep it refrigerated by placing a freeze-pak under the crystal
dish.
