Crudite Platter
Description
This Crudite Platter centers on a creamy, tangy dip blending sour cream, full-fat Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and a medley of dried herbs and spices. The dip provides a smooth, bright contrast to an assortment of mostly raw vegetables arranged thoughtfully around it. Baby carrots, mini bell peppers, radishes, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, sugar snap peas, and cauliflower offer a range of crisp and refreshing textures.
Part of the vegetable selection can be lightly blanched in boiling water then shocked in ice water to maintain bright color and a tender-crisp bite, particularly for broccoli and snap peas if included. The diverse vegetables allow for varied flavors and mouthfeel that complement the lightly spiced herb dip.
It’s intended to be served cold or at room temperature on a large platter, suitable for gatherings or light snacking. The recipe notes suggest the vegetables can be repurposed for other dishes later, enhancing practicality.
Preparing the dip up to two days in advance is possible while advising to cut and prepare vegetables the day of serving for freshness. Substitutions among vegetables are flexible, although the dip flavors are recommended to remain consistent for best balance.

Add the broccoli to the water and cook until bright green but still firm, about 2 minutes. Use a colander to drain the broccoli, then quickly transfer to the ice bath to chill.
