Notes & Tips
Make it colorful: Use a mix of red, yellow, and orange cherry tomatoes.
Shortcut: Skip roasting veggies and use fresh cucumber, tomato, and olives only for a no-cook platter.
Dressing idea: A drizzle of pesto or lemon-herb vinaigrette makes it extra special.
Protein boost: Add slices of prosciutto, grilled shrimp, or marinated chicken skewers for a heartier spread.
