it is a bit time consuming but i'm making it for the church easter picnic anyway. the combination of flavors is spectacular and the presentation is elegant. previous reviewer said about the same i would have.for those who don't like beets, the cinnamon apples in a jar add a nice kick and color. i use a little less cucumber and a little more carrot and celery. number of tomatoes depends on their size. thanks!

Use jarred beets and jarred bell peppers to speed the process. Assemble up to three days ahead, but reserve the beets and eggs, adding them just before you serve.
