- Slice the tomatoes into wedges and buildrnthem around and on top of the cucumbers inrnthe bowl. Th is should create a good base nearrnthe top of the bowl on which to build the romaine/rnradicchio design, as follows:
- With the furrowed side down, and the root endrnpointing to the center of the bowl, create a pinwheelrndesign of red and green, alternating thernradicchio leaves with the romaine, folding inrnthe sides to make a tight arrangement.
