Patriotic Veggie Platter – A festive vegetable platter to make for your 4th of July of cookout.
The best appetizers are the ones that don’t need to be baked and that look pretty. Well, this Patriotic Veggie Platter is pretty and festive. It’s the perfect 4th of July party appetizer!
The best thing about this festive 4th of July Vegetable Platter is that it’s healthy and clean. The ranch dip is made with Greek yogurt, buttermilk, and spices and you can never have too many veggies.
Ingredients needed to make a Patriotic Veggie Platter:
- Red vegetables – I used two red peppers and cherry tomatoes
- White vegetables – I used one cucumber and cauliflower
- Clean Ranch Dip
- 1 can of chopped black olives
- 2 slices of white cheddar cheese
How to make a Flag Veggie Platter:
I cut up the veggies and arranged them in rows. Then I added the clean ranch dip to a small bowl and spread the chopped black olives over the dip. I then used a star cookie cutter to cut stars out of the cheese and laid them on top of the black olives.
That’s it! How easy and cute is that?
Such a festive little veggie platter. Perfect for a party!
