How Do I Store Leftover Veggies from my Vegetable Tray?
Place any leftover vegetables in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to five days. Be sure to store the dressing in a completely separate container from the vegetables.
Using a Food-Grade Serving Tray
When it comes to making vegetable platters and charcuterie boards, always use a tray that is food-grade level. Be sure that it’s washed and dried before setting up your Snowman Veggie Tray.
Can I Substitute Any Ingredients for my Snowman Veggie Tray?
Yes! The sky’s the limit with what you can add onto this tray to make it your own. I recommend sticking with the veggies as highlighted in the recipe, this way you can have it looking like a snowman as much as possible. However, feel free to add additional elements that surround the snowman like:
- Your favorite crackers
- Pretzels
- Cheese
- Nuts
