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

    Cup of Yum
  1. Grab a large platter and arrange two small bowls in the center. Divide the guacamole (or other dip) between the two bowls.
  2. 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.)
  3. 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.
  4. 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!

Notes

  • Nutrition information is for 1/12th of this platter, including the guacamole. This information is automatically calculated so it's just an estimate, not a guarantee.
  • ► 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.

  • ► Platter: The platter I used is 17-inches wide and 13-inches tall. I bought it from Target last year, but it's no longer available. This platter on Amazon (affiliate link) looks similar in size.
