A vibrant and healthy vegetable platter served with creamy hummus, perfect as a nutritious appetizer or snack. This colorful assortment features crisp baby carrots, refreshing cucumber sticks, sweet bell pepper strips, juicy cherry tomatoes, and crunchy celery sticks, paired with smooth hummus for a delightful dipping experience.

Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 1 cup baby carrots
  • 1 cup cucumber sticks
  • 1 cup bell pepper strips (red, yellow, green)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1 cup celery sticks

Dip

  • 1 cup hummus (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables: Wash all the vegetables thoroughly under cold running water. Peel the cucumbers if desired and cut them into sticks. Slice the bell peppers into thin strips, slice celery into sticks, and ensure baby carrots and cherry tomatoes are clean and ready to serve.
  2. Arrange the Platter: On a large serving platter, artistically arrange the baby carrots, cucumber sticks, bell pepper strips, cherry tomatoes, and celery sticks in separate sections or alternating patterns for visual appeal.
  3. Add the Hummus: Place the bowl of hummus in the center of the platter. This will serve as the dip for all the vegetables, making it easy for guests to enjoy.
  4. Serve or Store: Serve the vegetable platter immediately to enjoy maximum freshness and crunch. Alternatively, cover and refrigerate until ready to serve, preferably within a few hours to maintain the veggies’ crispness.

Notes

  • Use fresh, crisp vegetables for the best texture and flavor.
  • Feel free to customize the vegetable selection based on seasonality or personal preference.
  • For homemade hummus, blend chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, and spices until smooth.
  • Serve the platter chilled for a refreshing snack or appetizer.
  • This dish is naturally vegan and gluten free, making it suitable for many dietary preferences.
