It is quite decorative and low carb and looks "sophisticated" and makes a
nice firest course. You can also use it as a vegetable or a cooked salad
served at room temperature. It also is not a lot of work. I often make
it with fennel seed, which gives a bit of a licorish taste, but that is
not necessary if you don't like a hint of that flavor.
Pretty much anything can be an appetiser or first course.
