Halloween Veggie Tray
This Halloween Veggie Tray is the perfect appetizer for a party. With a few easy shortcuts, you can assemble it in just minutes for a healthy snack before trick-or-treating begins!
Ingredients
- 1 cup guacamole (or dip of choice)
- 2 pounds carrot or baby carrots
- 1 bunch celery
- 1 large cucumber
- 1 radish (optional; for eyeballs)
- 1 black olive
Instructions
- Grab a large platter and arrange two small bowls in the center. Divide the guacamole (or other dip) between the two bowls.
- Peel and slice the carrots into sticks, about 2-inches long. Sliced carrots taste better than baby carrots, but you can use baby carrots as a time-saving step. Arrange the carrots into a large oval shape around and between the dip bowls on the platter. (See the photos for reference.)
- Cut the celery into even pieces and arrange them at the top of the orange oval shape to create a "pumpkin stem." Then slice the cucumber into rounds and arrange them as a smile under the dip bowls. Slice one of the rounds into a triangle shape and place it where a nose would be on a jack-o-lantern.
- To finish the look, slice the radish into rounds and place one round in the center of each bowl. Then, cut the black olive into rounds and place a slice on each radish for a "pupil" look. Then, the Halloween veggie tray is ready to serve!

- ► Dip Bowls: These glass bowls (affiliate link) are similar to what I used in the photos. They are about 3.5-inches wide and have lids if you want to add the dip ahead of time and store it in the fridge.
