You can add some color: Fruit chunks such as pineapple, Carrot sticks, little pickled red beets or red apple slices

(5,946 posts)celery and carrot sticks are also classic.
The one thing I added to one of mine that brought a lot of compliments, was cabbage core sticks - very spicy, no one could figure out what it was, they always threw it out.

(35,807 posts)celery sticks. Or carrot sticks. You need a little burst of natural flavor there, amidst all that complexity.

The midwestern farm thing about never wasting anything. I mean, they even pickled watermelon rind.

Everybody else has suggested the olives and radish rose garnish.
