Notes

Best dips for Crudités

Hummus: Any hummus flavor will enhance the flavors on the board. It is creamy, tangy, and vegetarian/vegan-friendly.
Cream Cheese Dips: Cream cheese-based dips, like our smoked salmon dip, are delicious on veggie boards. They are fast, easy, and versatile and only take five minutes to put together.
Sour Cream Dips: Dips like Ranch and French Onion are delicious additions to your vegetable tray.
Yogurt-based Sauces: Sauces like tzatziki or dill yogurt sauce are delicious with your boards.

Veggie Board Ideas

Use a variety of fresh, raw vegetables on your board.
Strive to find a variety of colors, no matter which vegetables you use.
Try using fresh herbs to fill in any holes or as a base for the entire board.
Serve your dips and sauces in small bowls.
Add various crackers, pita chips, or slices of toasted bread or baguette to the board.
Olives, pickles, and similar condiments are a fun variation to use. Our pickled cauliflower can be substituted, or served alongside fresh cauliflower.

How to Store Leftovers

Store dips in airtight containers. According to the FDA, refrigerate leftover dairy-based dips or anything requiring refrigeration within two hours.

We store the cut-up vegetables in storage bags. We sprinkle a little water in the bag to dampen the veggies, which will keep them from drying out.
