Veggie Tray

Ok, so who hasn't bought one of those pre-made trays at the grocery store?  It's a total crap shoot as to how fresh the vegetables are and if the dip is edible.  Making one on your own is MUCH better, cheaper, and guaranteed to impress.  Did I mention that it tastes better?  Plus, you can customize the veggies to what your family likes.  Starting with the cherry tomatoes (that were grown in my home garden!) going clockwise - 1 english cucumber sliced, baby carrots, celery sticks, marinated button mushrooms, pepper slices (red, orange, and yellow) and baby corn.  The dip is home made ranch dip - just sour cream, a ranch packet, and some extra dill to taste.

Remember, we eat with our eyes first then our mouths, so presentation does make a difference.  Showing up with this tray at any meal will have everyone loving veggies!
