Crudités Platter with White Bean Dip 3 Ways

Far from the plastic grocery store vegetable trays with ranch dressing, our Crudités Platter served with White Bean Dip 3 Ways is the ultimate way to impress your guests and eat your veggies too.

Typically when Philip and I serve a Crudités Platter, we include a hummus-based dip to accompany the vegetables. Creamy, rich, and perfectly dippable (if that's not a word, it should be), our White Bean Dip 3 Ways plays on a guacamole, hummus, and vegetable dip sure to add even more vibrancy and color to your Crudités Platter

Like a Mezze or a Charcuterie board, a Crudités Platter follows the same rules and is guaranteed to impress your guests when you place it on the table. Like I always say, "If you can't cook, you better know how to put together a beautiful board," and that includes veggies on a plate.

If you're looking for more ways to elevate your dip game, don’t miss our Red Pepper Dip with Olives for a bold and smoky option, the tangy and unexpected Dill Pickle Hummus for pickle enthusiasts, or our hearty Hummus with Dukkah that’s a guaranteed hit at any gathering. Each dip brings its own unique twist, making snack time anything but ordinary!

How to Make a Crudités Platter:

1. Platter: Start by selecting the perfect platter based on the number of guests.
2. Dips: Make your dips and arrange them on your board so they're easily accessible for dipping.
3. Vegetables: Prepare your veggies by cutting them in various shapes and sizes.
4. Arrange: Think of this part like arranging a bouquet, just on a board. Play with textures, colors, and lengths of your veggies to build the ultimate board.
5. Serve: The best part is you can make this in advance, and serve when your guests arrive. Just remember to place a moist paper towel over the platter to keep the freshness in.
