A crudité appetizer is a neat arrangement of raw, baked, or blanched vegetables with a dipping sauce. To avoid your vegetable platter looking like a messy salad, it's best to have a specific concept when assembling it, resulting in a beautiful, healthy, and delicious appetizer. For example, make a crudité with green vegetables, arranging them around a bowl of dill yogurt dip. Juicy cucumber sticks, lettuce leaves, roasted Brussels sprouts, and green beans and broccolini are perfect accompaniments, as are blanched green beans to soften them while retaining their juiciness and vibrant color. Pumpkin seeds, toasted in the oven with spices, make a delicious addition to the vegetables.
