How to Arrange a Veggie Tray

1. Start with a tray. Get out your favorite tray or board for serving. I love to use this from rectangular wood serving tray from Walmart. It’s not too pricey and works perfectly when making a veggie platter. We seriously use it all the time.
2. Add the bowls. Start with 3-4 bowls of dips or nuts. You want to add these first and then fill in the empty space afterwards. A fun way to serve your dip is to use a red bell pepper as your “bowl.” Just cut off the top and pour the dip inside.
3. Fill in the empty space. Pick your favorite veggies, fruits and snacks and add them to the tray. You don’t want there to be any empty space after you’re done. I like to start with bigger snacks first, then add the smaller snacks to fill in the gaps.
