Ingredients
For the Dip:
For the Tray or Board:
- 1 red cabbage, cut in half (center scooped out to make a bowl)
- 1 cup purple cauliflower
- 1 cup broccoli
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 English cucumber, sliced
- 1 cup sliced mini peppers, cut in half
- 2 cups sliced celery and carrots
- Fresh dill
- 1 cup Radishes - 2 colors, cut in quarters and halved
- 1 cup Jicama sliced
- 1 cup Pea Pods
Equipment
- 1 Tray with Clear Acrylic Insert (washable)
Instructions
Make the dip:
- Keep it chunky: Combine all of the ingredients right in the cottage cheese container and stir.
- Taste for seasoning. Start with 1-2 Tbsp of Ranch seasoning, and add more if needed.
- Sprinkle with fresh chives and garnish with dill sprig.
- Make it creamy: Follow instructions above, but add the milk, Ranch seasoning, and lemon in a food processor and blend for 30 seconds to 1 minute until the cottage cheese is very smooth and creamy.
Serving:
- Cut the purple cabbage in half and hollow it out. Slice the red cabbage in half across the middle, not lengthwise, so one half has the core at the bottom. This makes it easier to scoop out the center and create a sturdy bowl for serving.
- Fill both halves with the dip. Place on a big board or tray as a dip with vegetables, crackers, or chips. Enjoy!
