Recipe Description:

What I love most about this platter, aside from the taste and appealing presentation, is how easily it all comes together. The dressing can be made way in advance, and the veggies can be prepared and cut two days in advance and bagged separately in the fridge. Even the sweet potatoes can be baked beforehand. The fun part is getting creative and setting it all out! Either do it in rows on a rectangular platter or in concentric circles on a round one. If you’re really pressed for time, you can just toss it all together in a bowl. Same delicious taste! Thanks, Avigail G.!
