Cold Vegetable Platter with Sauce Verte

Arrange a large platter of sliced carrots, celery, cucumbers, zucchini, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, jicama, etc. in any combination you desire. Slice the vegetables straight, on the diagonal, into circles, sticks, curls, etc. Arrange on a bed of lettuce. Dip the ends of the lettuce leaves in paprika for a pretty effect. Place the Imperial Sauce Verte in the center ad Voila! you have a party.

Many friends have said that my Sauce Verte is the best they have ever tasted. I hope you enjoy it too.
