Sure, you could pick up one of those sad, limp, tasteless, pre-made veggie trays at the grocery, but doesn't this look a lot more appetizing?
Remember last week's turnips? I used a wavy cutter and sliced them to look like chips. This week's broccoli and cauliflower - blanched for a minute or so in boiling water, then plunged into ice water. Same for that pretty handful of green beans I picked up at the farmer's market yesterday.
The carrots and radishes just needed a quick wash. I peeled the carrots, but left a little bit of the greens on to use as a handle.
For the dip, I took a container of creme fraiche (like sour cream, but with a richer flavor - look for it in the either the cheese or dairy case, depending on the market) then I took a trip through my herb garden, which yielded a bunch of chives, some lemon basil, some lemon balm, a little mint, and some parsley. I chopped the herbs, added some salt and pepper, and instant fresh dip.
