Description

This vibrant Veggie Tray is a delightful blend of rainbow carrots, crisp cucumbers, and rich dill dip. With quick prep and a variety of fresh vegetables, it’s an ideal choice for a healthy snack or a colorful appetizer at any gathering.


Ingredients

Scale
  • carrots (rainbow carrots if possible)
  • celery
  • cucumber (english cucumber is best if you can find it)
  • snap peas
  • red, orange, or yellow bell peppers
  • broccoli (steamed broccoli or blanched broccoli is best)
  • radishes
  • cherry tomatoes (multi-colored, if possible)
  • olives
  • 1 cup full fat greek yogurt (or sour cream; see notes)
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons dried dill
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons dried minced onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt


Instructions

  • Slice all the vegetables appropriately. Prepare the broccoli by either steaming or blanching it and then sprinkle with salt for enhanced flavor.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ingredients for the dill dip. For the best flavor, refrigerate the dip for 30 minutes (it can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 week).
  • If you prefer, prepare an additional dip like hummus or another variant.
  • Serve by placing the dips in small shallow bowls and arranging the sliced vegetables around them. Offer immediately.

Notes

For added flavor, let the dipped vegetables sit for a few minutes before serving to allow the flavors to mingle.
Store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Feel free to mix and match the vegetables based on what’s in season or what you have on hand.
