Notes
Serving: Set out as a party appetizer or snack station with small plates/napkins for easy grazing.
Storage: Refrigerate leftover veggies in airtight containers; keep dips in separate covered containers. Best within 1–2 days.
Tips: Use cookie cutters to punch bat/pumpkin shapes; add extra colors (purple cabbage, yellow peppers); offer alternate dips like guacamole or salsa.
Variation: Swap in radishes, snap peas, or broccoli; try flavored hummus or yogurt-based dips.
FAQ:
– Make ahead? Prep veggies a day ahead and chill; assemble just before serving.
