Happy Foodie Friday, Friends!

Today I’m stirring up a crudités platter with 3 very fun and festive dips, which are perfect for the Holiday season! I love saying “crudités” because 1) it’s lovely to say 2) it’s a fancy French word for raw vegetables.

If you’re looking to add some nutrition to your Holidays, this is the way to do it!

Pro tip: If you want to get that broccoli to look greener, simply blanch and shock with ice water. The goal would be tenderize slightly but not overcook.

The 3 dips include a roasted garlic dip, pesto dip and a red pepper coulis.

Simply toggle between the tabs below to view each recipe. Enjoy!
