Notes
Tips and tricks: Be sure to read the entire post for tips to make this an awesome veggie tray.
Vegetable substitutions: This recipe is written for the vegetables I used, but feel free to change out any veggie for something else.
How much to make: Think about 5 pieces of vegetables per person (so 50-60 pieces for 10-12 guests). Have about 3 tablespoons of dip per person (so about 1 3/4 - 2 cups for 10-12 guests). For non-vegetable items like naan or pretzels, have about 2 per person (so 20-24 pieces for 10-12 guests).
Make ahead: Make vegetable trays up to a day before. Leave any non-vegetable items off the tray (such as naan, pretzels, etc.), then wrap the tray tightly in plastic wrap and store in the fridge. Add the remaining items before serving.
Leftover veggies: Use leftovers in stir fry, omelets, casseroles, or soup.
