Start by choosing fresh vegetables and a protein you already have at home.
Use tomatoes, cucumbers and onions to create a crunchy, refreshing base.
Add a soft-boiled egg for protein and richness.
Include olives, capers or pickled items for sharp, bold flavours.
Add cottage cheese, feta or yogurt dip for creaminess.
Scatter crackers or nachos around the plate for texture.
Include a warm element like hash browns if desired.
Season lightly with garlic salt, paprika or your favourite spices.
Arrange ingredients casually without worrying about presentation.
Customise portions based on hunger and enjoy the process.
