I love the holidays, and before we know it, they will be here. Here's a few ideas to help serve tasty raw veggies at your next gathering.
*Choosing a tray or platter is easy to hold the veggies is easy, just look for broad, flat serving pieces.
*Using veggies as containers for dips. Hollowed out red, yellow and green bell peppers look great stuffed full of dip and placed in the center of the crudite tray.
*For Thanksgiving, how about a small squash or pumpkin, hollowed and fitted with a small plastic container to hold the dip.
*Allow for an abundance of veggies, the leftovers can always be made into soup.
*Also look for a variety of colors, reds, greens, yellows, oranges for drama and appeal.
*Arranging in separate clumps and making sure that larger pieces are cut into easy to enjoy pieces, slices or strips.
*Garnishes such as parsley, herbs, chive blossoms or edible flowers make a WOW! statement.
*Enjoy!
