Making Vegetable Platters
Not only are vegetables good for you, they are a great addition to any party or social events. Though there are many food options when you have get-togethers, there is always room for vegetable platters. These are popular because so many people like them, they are easy to make, and veggies make great finger foods. These are also a good choice because there are some that have very strict diet restrictions, but almost everyone can eat vegetables.
Some of the most common vegetable platters are the ones that have carrots, celery, broccoli, and cauliflower. Some of these might also have cucumber, but that is not as common. These are always paired with a great dip, but the type of dip will vary. Some like to put dill dip with their vegetable platters, and some go with a veggie dip or even French onion. Each of these work well, and might just be up to the person making the platters of vegetables for a party or event. There is no reason why you can't have more than one also.
There are other great vegetables that can easily be added to any vegetable platter. Some like to find other veggies that are easily picked up with the fingers that can also add a new dimension to what they think of as the same old boring platter of vegetables. One great addition or substitution is peapods. You can't use mature peas, but you can find small peapods that will stand up to dipping very well, and they taste great too.
Other great choices for vegetable platters are peppers and cherry tomatoes. Both are good with dip, and they are strong enough to dip. Some even put their dip in a hollowed out pepper for a very neat touch. For the adventurous type, you can have asparagus and even mushrooms as other great additions to platters of vegetables. Find what you like when you make up your own, and even consider some fruit for special versions.
If you don't have the time to make them on your own, you can find some a
mazing vegetable platters by looking around online. Just make sure you order in time for your event. Ordering food over the Internet can be tricky, as you don't want to order too early either. Most companies that sell these things have a good handle on when to ship, so have all of your event details with you when you place your order to get the best service possible.
