Veggie Appies

               A fresh veggie tray is an excellent addition to any party!

• tomatoes
• cucumbers
• red peppers
• orange peppers
• celery
• cauliflower
• red cabbage
• sugar snap peas
• carrots
• broccoli
• Two envelopes of Knorr vegetable recipe dip mix (sold in small boxes)
• 32 ounces sour cream
• 1 cup real mayonnaise
• Paprika for garnish
• green onion for garnish
• kale for garnish
• Star cookie cutter for cucumber stars

Hollow the red cabbage and create a zigzag pattern.  Mix the dip and add to the cabbage (this can be done a few days ahead of the party). Sprinkle paprika on the dip as garnish.

Slice all veggies.  Place the carrots in water until the party.  Steam the broccoli for 3 minutes to enhance the color and soften just a tiny bit. Slice cucumbers about half an inch thick to create cucumber stars for the garnish.  Add kale on the bottom and sides and green onion as garnishes.

* The dip recipe is by Knorr and is on the box  (the recipe above is doubled).
