This was originally published in a Southern Living magazine years ago. It goes together quickly, is pretty to look at, and is delicious! Don't marinate for too long, as the vegetables and cheese tend to get mushy .Cooking time is chilling time. Ingredients:

1 small red onion, thinly sliced |
1 (8 1/2 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained |
1/2 cup diced celery |
