    13. Do the same with the marinated carrot salad, placing portions next to the potato salads.
    14. Continue this pattern for the beet salad and the broccoli salad, ensuring all four types are distributed evenly in the four corners, creating a balanced presentation.

    Notes

    • Advance Preparation: The vegetables can be boiled a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator. However, do not mix them with their dressings until 30 minutes before serving to maintain freshness and texture.
    • Distribution: It is best to distribute each type of salad four times around the platter (as described above) so that every guest has easy access to all varieties.
