Vegetable Tray with Rohnda’s Ranch Dressing

We thought about trying to be a bit fancy and use “crudités” in our title for our vegetable tray appetizer - since crudités is a French term that refers to raw vegetables, but we decided to keep things as simple as possible. Crudités is a platter that typically consists of one or more types of vegetables served with one or more dips. These are great for parties and can be served in place of a salad. The sky is the limit as far as what you can place on them - it doesn’t have to be just the standard carrots, celery, broccoli, and cauliflower! Mix and match to discover what you like best. We’ve included “Rohnda’s Ranch Dip” from the Cookbook for you here. This recipe is part of the THM Exclusive Collection.
