Misc | Child Friendly, Serve Cold |
Ingredients
dip
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/3 cup green onion (diced)
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt (to taste)
- 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
vegetables
- 1lb Raw young vegetables, suitable for dipping (cleaned, dried, and cut with leaves and stems intact)
Note
No boring veggie trays here! Use wine or highball glasses to make a gorgeous and portable addition to your party spread.
When assembling the vegetables select the thinnest carrots and asparagus, and leave the leafy parts intact for a whimsical, garden-like effect. Go for color! Cut purple cabbage into thick strips and arrange between hearts of Romaine lettuce, red and orange pepper slices, and leafy celery.
Set out an extra tray of cut and washed vegetables and a serving bowl of dip and let guests refresh his or her own glass as they mill about.
For children’s parties use disposable plastic cups to eliminate possibility of breakage or germy double-dipping.

No hoppy belly-bomb beer for my crew: our favorite game-day beverage, served ice cold in Champagne flutes, is Beak & Skiff’s 1911 Hard Cider. This lovely elixir is sweet, light and bubbly. Best of all, it is a local option for Central New Yorkers.
