Easy Party Appetizers - Vegetable Platters with Herb Dip

One of the best and most popular appetizer ideas for large parties are vegetable platters and they are one of the easiest finger appetizers to serve!!

Vegetable platters satisfy a diverse range of tastes and just a few different vegetables go a long way in feeding a large crowd. To top it off, with a bit of planning you will have great make ahead appetizers that keep you well organized come party day.

On the day prior to your party, choose a variety of vegetables (carrots, broccoli, red and green peppers, radishes, cauliflower), wash & cut into bite size pieces. Cover with wet paper towel and refrigerate.

Prepare your dip either from a package (there are some absolutely wonderful packaged dips out there that you need only to add sour cream or mayonnaise) or try our Easy Herbed Vegetable Dip recipe below:
