The classic vegetable platter is sometimes called crudités (CRUDE-ee-tays), which is simply French for "raw foods".  Select a contrast of colors, allowing at least four pieces per person. Cut up the vegetables, then keep them in ice water. Drain just before serving.  You can arrange the dippers in a basket lined first with plastic wrap, then lettuce leaves, or on a platter lined with lettuce leaves or bordered with parsley or curly cabbage.
