Homemade Ranch Dip {Veggie Tray Ideas}

Homemade ranch dip recipe is the perfect way to eat your veggies! The best part is the recipe is so easy you can get your kids to make it.  I have found that the more I involve my kids in helping to make their food, the more enthusiastic they are about eating new foods and being adventurous eaters. If getting your child to eat more veggies is one of your goals, these holiday veggie tray ideas are a fun way to present veggies and make them irresistible. I also have a killer Ranch Salad Dressing recipe!

 I am always on the lookout for things that make cooking with kids easier.  My daughter Bella loves sour cream, so Daisy Sour Cream is always a favorite!

Daisy Sour Cream made making our homemade ranch dip for vegetables a breeze.

Homemade Ranch Dip Recipe

1 cup Daisy Sour Cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 tsp dried parsley
1/2 tsp dried dill
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp salt

Measure out all the ingredients.  Mix all together and enjoy. This dip is best when made the day before.  If serving immediately I sometimes pump up the flavor by adding an extra 1/4 teaspoon of all the ingredients except the salt. An extra pinch of salt is enough.

Dig in!

Holiday Veggie Tray Ideas

Another way to get kids to eat more healthy food is to make them fun! These clever veggie tray ideas are a great way to serve up vegetables and homemade ranch dip! No need to load up on holiday sweets!

Turkey Veggie Tray

Slice off the bottom of a bell pepper.  Cut a hole in the pepper and slip two strips of yellow bell pepper through the hole. Cut a piece of red pepper for the waddle. Two royal icing eyes finish off the face. Cut legs out of carrots and place into the dip.

Arrange vegetables around the bowl of dip to make the body and feathers of the turkey.

It is almost too cute to eat. Don’t worry it will get gobbled up!

Christmas Tree Veggie Tray

Broccoli and cherry tomatoes make the perfect Christmas tree to serve along homemade ranch dip.  Stacked slices of yellow bell pepper cut from the bottom of a yellow bell pepper make a star for the tree while carrot slices make the perfect tree trunk.

So many fun ways to have a delicious holiday!
