Betty's Fourth of July Celebration Veggie Relish Tray Recipe

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to assemble a large, gorgeous relish tray for your 4th of July party! Also, don't forget that it will go great with Betty's "The Real Deal" Dill Weed Dip!

Ingredients:

grape or cherry tomatoes
broccoli florets
radish roses
celery fans
red bell pepper rings
green bell pepper rings
cucumber flowers
cauliflower florets
carrot curls

Wash all vegetables and dry them with paper towel (or clean kitchen towel). Cut the vegetables into serving pieces that you can eat with your fingers. (For the radish roses, carrot curls, celery fans, and cucumber flowers, please see Betty's Quick Tips, if you need help making them.) Arrange the vegetables in a large tray in an attractive way. I used alternating colors and textures. You may omit any vegetable that you do not like, and add in others. Also, I only used natural foods--nothing processed like pickles, olives, jalapeno slices, etc. Make your relish tray to your own taste. After using the relish tray for your party or for a meal, you will probably have leftovers. Place these in a gallon-sized plastic zip-lock bag, and store in the refrigerator. The vegetables should stay fresh up to a week or so. Diet tip: Place the bag of vegetables in plain view, so that when you go for a snack, it will be the first thing you see. It may cause you to have a healthy, fat-free snack instead of that piece of cake that is calling your name! And, remember, the Dill Weed Dip is fat-free, also! This may be the beginning of a diet that truly will work!!!

I really wanted to thank you for this recipe. This week, I prepared some vegetables like this and placed them in 10 individual baggies. My husband and I had fresh vegetables for our lunches at work each day and the vegetables lasted quite well.

pretty very creative

Beautiful presentation.

Just a tip. Green bell is actually an unripe bell pepper. There are no bell pepper varieties that rippen green. As a member of the nightshade family they should never be eaten unripe, never green.
