This dish will make anyone swoon! Arrange a few modest delicacies in the right way on a plate and you end up with a creation that more mouthwatering that any of its parts alone. When you're ready to arrange the platter, place the greens in the middle of the plate and arrange the other foods in small, neat piles around the center.
