carrots
celery
cucumber

Directions

I start by washing and peeling the vegetables as needed. Then I cut them into sticks, slices, or bite-sized pieces for easy dipping.

I arrange the vegetables on a large platter, grouping similar items together for a clean and colorful presentation.

I place small bowls of hummus or other dips in the center or around the platter.

I like to keep everything chilled until serving so the vegetables stay crisp and refreshing.

Servings and timing

I usually prepare enough for about 4–6 servings depending on the size of the platter.
Preparation takes around 15–20 minutes, with no cooking required.

Variations

I sometimes add olives, cheese cubes, or crackers for extra variety. When I want a more filling platter, I include pita bread or sliced baguette. I also like offering different dips such as guacamole or tzatziki.

storage/reheating

I store leftover vegetables in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2–3 days. I keep dips separate and chilled. I don’t reheat this dish, as it’s meant to be served fresh and cold. Crudité Platter
