Vegetable Salad Platter With Rosemary Dressing

The design of the universe...is very magnificent and shouldn’t be taken for granted. In fact, I believe that is why Einstein had so little use for organized religion... He must have looked at what the preachers said about God and felt that they were blaspheming. He had seen much more majesty then they had ever imagined, and they were just not talking about the real thing. My guess is that he simply felt that religions he’d run across did not have proper respect...for the author of the universe.

Notes: "Next time you need a spectacular presentation of vegetables,
try this. Just be sure not to overcook any of the vegetables as they
should still be a bit crunchy." This salad tastes best when served at
room temperature, so if you do it ahead and refrigerate, allow time
for the vegetable to warm for serving; about 30 minutes.  Recipe by:
