• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 1 green bell pepper, sliced
• 1 cup celery sticks
• 1 cup green grapes (optional for sweetness)
• Avocado Ranch Dip
• 1 ripe avocado, peeled and pitted
• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or sour cream for richer dip)
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2–3 tablespoons milk or water (to thin, as needed)

Instructions

1. Prepare the vegetables

Wash and dry all produce. Slice the cucumber, bell pepper, and celery. Trim snap peas and cut broccoli into bite-sized florets. Arrange vegetables and grapes on a large platter or board.

2. Make the avocado ranch dip

In a food processor or blender, combine avocado, Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, dill, chives, parsley, garlic, lemon juice, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth.

3. Adjust consistency

Add milk or water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dip reaches your desired creaminess. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

4. Assemble

Transfer dip to a serving bowl and place in the center of the board.

5. Serve

Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

To ensure your veggies stay crisp, prepare and dry them thoroughly before arranging. For the creamiest dip, use a very ripe avocado and blend until perfectly smooth. Adjust the dip’s thickness with milk or water gradually to avoid thinning it too much.

Make this board vegan by substituting plant-based yogurt and mayonnaise. Experiment with other green vegetables like asparagus, zucchini sticks, or edamame to add variety and texture.
