Making an Impressive Vegetable Platter

• A vegetable platter is often included at parties like New Year’s Eve celebrations.
• Instead of just the usual carrots, celery, broccoli and cauliflower, you can make it an absolute work of art and really impress your guests (while they eat healthy) by adding:
  

• Cooked asparagus or green beans
• Mushrooms
• Yellow or green zucchini
• Edamame (soy bean pods)
• Endive leaves
• Raddichio leaves for color
• You can also serve the vegetables in individual bowls rather than on 1 platter for another impressive presentation idea.
• Serve the dip in a hollowed out pepper half. Salsa is great served in a large, hollowed out tomato.
