Very little cooking involved . . . Simple Supper Salad Platter

After a Mother's Day feast, we were ready for something light for supper tonight. So, it's just a matter of assembling things from the fridge, with very little cooking involved. 
     The idea is simple — use what you have on hand, so feel free to vary ingredients and create your own simple supper platter!

Simple Supper Salad Platter
Hard-cooked eggs, peeled and diced
Cooked chicken, diced or shredded
Cooked beans, drained & seasoned  (our red beans came right out of the can; I seasoned them lightly with a chili, cumin & garlic blend)
Carrots, chopped, sliced or grated
Celery, chopped
Broccoli, chopped
Chunks of cheese
-----
Fresh herbs, chopped — such as thyme and parsley
Chinese cabbage, shredded

To assemble:

• Arrange various items (chicken through cheese) on a platter as desired. Sprinkle chopped herbs on top.
• To serve: Add shredded cabbage to dinner plates and let each person add their choice of ingredients from the salad platter.
• Offer dressings such as  Mom's Celery Seed Dressing or Asian Dressing, or dressing of your choice.
• Slices of toasted Almost No-Knead Walnut and Rosemary Bread add a grain component to the meal.
• For dessert: Berry-Delicious Fruit Salad.
