    It doesn't get much cuter than this veggie tray! And it's the perfect party-worthy alternative to a classic charcuterie board. But better because it's loaded with fresh spring veggies, crunchy crackers, and my favorite veg-friendly dips.

    This Spring Veggie Board Is..

    • Easy to make. 
    • Made with fresh veggies and fruit! 
    • A fun way to get the kids to eat their veggies.
    • Easy to customize.
    • Great for Easter celebrations, parties, or an after school snack. 

    How to Make a Veggie Board

    Full steps are below in the printable recipe card. This is a quick walk through on how to make your spring veggie board. 

    1. Start by adding celery and the bowls to your board. 
    2. Add dips of choice to your bowls. 
    3. Slice carrots and place around two bowls to create flowers. 
    4. Next prep strawberries to do the same. I sliced the berries in half so they sat flat. 
    5. Add dried cranberries down the center of the celery. 
    6. Snap peas are used to mimic grass. Just place at the bottom of the board. 
    7. I did add some broccoli for a change in texture. 
    8. Next add bowls of Chex mix and covered raisins. Then I used butterfly shaped crackers outside for snacking on. 

    Helpful Tips

    Board Size: Make sure you use a board that is large enough for the flowers you want to make. If you don't have a wooden cutting board, a cookie sheet can work well also.

    Cheat with Pre-Cut Veggies. Save time by using pre-cut veggies and baby carrots. This is a great hack when prepping for a party.

    Fruits & Veggies to Use

    The possibilities are endless! You can use kiwi to slice and shape for flowers, grapes to place in the center of the bowl instead of a dip. Make flower leaves out of raspberries or blackberries. Use a bell pepper that is yellow, red or orange and replace the carrot sticks. Try out different ways to take your favorite veggies and fruit and add them to the board. 

    My favorite fruits and veggies for a party platter are:

    • Carrots 
    • Cucumbers 
    • Cherry tomatoes 
    • Radishes 
    • Celery 
    • Bell peppers 
    • Cauliflower 
    • Broccoli 
    • Snap peas 
    • Artichoke hearts 
    • Strawberries
    • Kiwis
    • Pineapple
    • Cantaloupe

    Dip Suggestions

    You can use any dips you love for this fruit and veggie tray. I suggest using a mix of sweet and savory dips, so you have something for every type of dipper.

    Savory Dip Ideas:

    • Hummus
    • Buffalo Cauliflower Dip
    • Ranch Dressing
    • Blue Cheese Dressing
    • French Onion Dip
    • Creamy Eggplant Dip

    Sweet Dip Ideas:

    • Cream Cheese Dip
    • Chocolate Hummus
    • Pumpkin Cream Cheese Dip
    • Chocolate Sauce
    • Caramel Sauce
