A salad or vegetable platter is a very important part of a Vietnamese meal; indeed, it is served at practically every one. The vegetables, which are eaten along with many dishe, are arranged on a platter, and diner helps himself to whatever he desires. In Vietnam we used many more vegetables and herbs than we can find in the West. But, in spite of that, the following platter makes a satisfactory accompaniment to the dishes we have prepared for this book. All vegetables and herbs are those served in Vietnam, except that the variety is smaller.
Arrange a mound of lettuce in the center of a platter. Around the lettuce, and touching it, arrange separate mounds of mint and coriander.
Arrange the cucumbers in overlapping slices around the complete outer rim of the platter.
This is the basic arrangement of the vegetable platter. On those occasions when a recipe calls for another vegetable, it can be added to this platter.
Makes 8 servings.
