Tammy Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I asked my mom for ideas for a veggie tray....and she suggested: raw sweet potatoes, peppers, raw zucchini, cucumbers, celery.....all of that with a ranch dip.... Does that sound good to anyone? Have you tried any of those? Tammy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klmama Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I've never heard about eating raw sweet potato, but I've eaten all the rest and they are great. I'd include some raw carrot sticks or baby carrots, too, for the less adventuresome. Another good addition is raw broccoli, and not just the heads! You can peel broccoli stalks and slice them lengthwise into sticks, like celery - delicious! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKS Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I have eaten raw sweet potato and it is good. And I didn't die either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlett Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I have eaten raw sweet potato and it is good. And I didn't die either. :lol: You are hilarious. Ok, red, orange and green peppers are so pretty on a veggie tray. The red and orange, or yellow ones are expensive though. I've never tried raw sweet potato, but I intend to now! I bet a sweet brown suger type dip would be good with sweet potato...but I wouldn't go to the trouble of making two dips. You can't miss with ranch.

CactusPair Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I've had all but the sweet potato--never heard of that--and they were very yummy. I'll have to try the sweet potato. Sounds interesting. Thanks for the new idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plain jane Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I have eaten raw sweet potato and it is good. And I didn't die either. :lol::lol: I like her choices. I also add cauliflower to my raw veggie trays along with the colored peppers that Scarlett mentioned. All the colors and then the white helps add visual interest. Oh and those cherry tomatoes. I can't have a veggie tray without those. yum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julie in CA Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I'd add raw asparagus though. It's my personal fave! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
