Chef notes
- Use thin, evenly sliced cucumbers for a neat flower shape. - Make sure the hard-boiled eggs are fully cooled before slicing. - Choose thin, flexible salami slices to create well-defined roses. - Arrange the ingredients gently to keep the flower pattern intact. - Use fresh, firm parsley and chives for a vibrant presentation. - Prepare just before serving for the freshest appearance. - Chill the platter for 15–20 minutes before serving.
