I admit, I’m a sucker for a good veggie board or charcuterie board. 

As a snacker, these trays are so easy to make and a great solution to make when you need something easy to take to a barbecue or event. 

Veggie trays are a party staple, a healthy snack option, and a delightful addition to any potluck or gathering.

These healthy appetizers are also easy to customize with items you have on hand or to make with your family’s personal favorites.

Veggie Tray Tips

Veggie boards are always popular and easy to make, but it can take a bit of planning to make the perfect plate. 

Here are some tips to help you create a snack tray that will be the star of your event. 

Choose a wide selection

Choose a vibrant mix of vegetables in different colors, shapes, and textures.

Here are some of my personal favorites to add.

• baby carrots
• broccoli florets
• cherry tomatoes
• sugar snap peas
• red bell pepper slices
• cucumber slices,
• cauliflower florets
• grape tomatoes
• radishes

Washing and Prep

Wash your vegetables thoroughly and dry them completely to prevent them from getting soggy.

Cut them into bite-sized pieces for easy eating.

For an extra touch, consider using cookie cutters to cut vegetables into fun shapes, or arrange them in a decorative pattern.

Go for a pretty presentation 

Arrange your vegetables on a platter in a visually appealing way.

Separate vegetables by color to create a rainbow effect. Use bowls or ramekins for dips and sauces to avoid overcrowding the platter.

Don’t forget the dip

• Variety is King: Offer a selection of dips to cater to different preferences. Hummus, ranch dressing, guacamole, and plain yogurt with a sprinkle of herbs are all crowd-pleasers. Consider offering a healthy and a more indulgent option.
• Make it Yourself (Optional): For an extra personal touch, try making your own dips! Homemade options are often healthier and more flavorful than store-bought varieties.
• Portion Control: Fill your dip bowls just enough to avoid overflow. You can always replenish them as needed.
