Philosophy of this dish:

You are going to make three individual dishes that you can serve on one traditional four-section crystal platter. One section is a ring inside the pattern, kind of like the hub on a wheel. The other three sections evenly divide the remaining part of the platter, as though you have three spokes coming from the hub. Inside those spokes, you'll have a green section, a white section, and a red section. In the center, you'll have a nut mix.

First, you'll make the base. From that, you'll make the gree, white, and red parts. It's a complicated dish, but impressive--and oh, so good! Make this when you want to be the talk of the party. Keep it refrigerated by placing a freeze-pak under the crystal dish.

This recipe is modified for American tastes and logistics.
