This bright and delicious party tray will liven up any party table this holiday season. It will compliment all of your holiday decorations and match your center piece beautifully. 
Items Needed:

• Divided Party Tray with 5 slots and circle in the middle.
• Broccoli
• Cauliflower
• Celery
• Radishes
• Red Bell Pepper
• Green Bell Pepper
• Baby Carrots
• Cucumber
• Ranch Dressing

Directions: First wash each vegetable well and set aside. Next you will want to cut the top off of the Green Pepper, core, wash out the inside, and drain. After you are sure that you have drained out all of the water out of the Green Pepper fill it with Ranch Dressing and place in the center of the tray. Next cut off the ends of the radishes, slice thinly, and place a thin layer around the Green Pepper. Cut the stems off of the Broccoli and Cauliflower and place on opposite ends of the party tray. Next place the baby carrots on one side between the Broccoli and Cauliflower. Then you will want to slice your Cucumber and place it next to the Broccoli. Next you will want to cut the ends off of the Celery and cut it into about 2″ strips and place it in the remaining slot. Finally cut off the top of the Red Pepper, core, slice it about 1/3 of an inch thick, rinse, and garnish each section of the vegetable tray.
