Skeleton Veggie Tray
This easy skeleton veggie tray is a healthy Halloween snack that's perfect for the spooky season. With plenty of crunchy veg and a creamy sauce for dipping.
Servings: 4 people for snacks
Equipment
- 1 large tray, platter or chopping board
Ingredients
- ¼ medium capsicum (bell pepper)
- ¼ medium cucumber
- 1 medium carrot
- 1 large celery stick
- 6 small broccoli florrets
- 6 small cauliflower florrets
- 4 whole cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup sour cream dip
- 2 olive slices
Instructions
- Put the bowl for the dip and skeleton head at the top of the tray so you can position your skeleton underneath it.
- Slice the cucumber into thick rounds and put them under the bowl for the spine.
- Slice the capsicum into long thin strips. Cut in half and place either side of the cucumber to form the rib cage.
- Arrange the broccoli and cauliflower florets to form the hips. Make sure the stems are cut quite short or they will fall over and be hard to position.
- Cut the celery and carrot into long limbs and position for the arms and legs.
- Add the cherry tomatoes for the hands and feet.
- Cut more carrot sticks into short thin sticks to form the fingers and toes.
- Fill the bowl up with dip. Add two sliced olives for the eyes. Cut six small carrot rectangles and position under the eyes to form the teeth/mouth.
- Thinly slice the mushrooms and place them around the bowl to finish off the skull and you're done!
Notes
- For a dairy free or vegan option swap the sour cream dip with your favourite dip with your favourite plant-based one.
- Swap up the veggies to suit your tastes. See the main post for some suggestions.
