Have you ever been invited to an event or potluck and not sure what to bring? Or, maybe you have shown up to an event and you can tell the host is behind in schedule but the vibe is hungry? Save the day with this Veggie Delight Platter. This is a go-to of mine and though it’s simple, I am always tasked with bringing it to every single event. It’s great for everyone – including kids! The best part of this platter is that you can add to it to include cauliflower, cheeses and fruit. Think of it as a charcuterie board but with garden-fresh flair.
