This Veggie Platter with Dip Trio is the perfect snack for your crew! Celery, carrots, bell peppers, cucumbers, and more with creamy, zesty, and herby dips. Give them each a try and figure out which one is your favorite!
What do you need to create a vegetable platter?
Every good vegetable platter should have a wide assortment of colors and textures. For this platter, I went with:
- Cauliflower (purple and yellow are fun!)
- Mini Peppers
- Mini -Cucumbers
- Broccolini
- Baby Carrots
- Celery
- Cherry Tomatoes
- Radishes
- Snap Peas
- Endives
For the Dip Trio, you'll need the following ingredients:
Classic Vegetable Dip
Caramelized Onion and Harissa Dip
Avocado Hummus
- Greek yogurt
- mayo
- lemon juice
- fresh dill
- garlic powder, onion powder
- paprika
- dried parsley
- salt, pepper

- lemon juice
- harissa paste
- garlic powder
- salt, pepper
- avocados
- canned chickpeas

What sized charcuterie board do you need for this Veggie Tray and Dip Trio?
The board I used for this was a gift from a sweet friend and it was about 24 inches X 18 inches. This was the perfect size for all of my dip bowls and assorted veggies to feed about 10. Pick a board that is proportionate to your bowls and you should be good!
And of course scale this recipe down and use a smaller board if you've got a smaller crew!
Storage:
These dips will store just fine in airtight containers in the fridge for 3 - 5 days. (For the avocado hummus, attempt to block it from as much oxygen as possible by placing a plastic wrap over the top of the hummus. Alternatively, you can squeeze fresh lemon juice over it or just kick it up in the recipe and that will also help keep it green and pretty for longer.)
