Ingredients

  • 2 cups french green beans, blanched (see notes)
  • 2 cups broccoli florets, blanched (see notes)
  • 2 cups sugar snap peas
  • 2 green bell peppers, sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 1-2 cups dip of choice, for serving

Instructions

  • Prepare your vegetables by slicing or blanching as listed in the ingredients. 
  • Place your dip in a small bowl and place in the center of a round platter. 
  • Fan out the green beans, broccoli, sugar snap peas and green bell pepper in sections around the bowl so it creates a wreath shape. 
  • Add the cherry tomatoes sporadically around the wreath to create ornaments. 
  • Slice the top inch off of the red bell pepper. 
  • Where the red pepper naturally has a section, make a slice from the outside to the stem. Repeat at the remaining creases. 
  • Gently pull a section away from the stem. It should detach without too much effort. Repeat to get one more section. These will become the loops of the bow.
  • Using the remaining bell pepper, cut two slices that will become the bottom ribbon of the bow.
  • Place the two rounded sections of the bell pepper on the bottom of the wreath facing each other. Then, place the longer strips below it. Use one cherry tomato to become the center of the bow. 
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • I recommend blanching the green beans and broccoli, as they are tougher vegetables. To do so, bring a medium sized pot of salted water to a boil. Once boiling, add the green beans and broccoli and cook for 2-3 minutes, until slightly tender but still have a crisp to them. You don’t want them to be overcooked and wilted. Transfer the green beans and broccoli with a slotted spoon or spider spatula to a bowl of ice water to shock them and stop cooking. Pat dry before putting on the veggie platter.
  • You don’t have to blanch the broccoli if you like them raw, but I prefer them blanched.
