Crudité platter with easy sour cream dip

Healthy appetizers are few and far between but with this Crudité platter with easy sour cream dip, you can indulge without the guilt.
SO listen, we all know I LOVE pastry but every party needs a good Crudité platter to balance out all the cheese/pastry/meat/deep-fried stuff. And what better than a plate full of fresh, crunchy and colourful veg to offset all the richness?
And yes, we are dipping all that healthiness into a very decadent sour cream dip BUT it’s still better than a sausage roll AND you could totally swap the sour cream for Greek yoghurt and then we’re getting so healthy you could totally add a sausage roll or two to your party plate.
The herbs in the dip can also be changed for ones you like most but I’ve found through trial and error that most people are happy with parsley and chives in a dip. Plus, you really only want to use soft herbs so basil and cilantro are really the only ones you could substitute. Mint could work too but I have found that most people don’t like the idea of mint with vegetables and my family can’t stand cilantro (fresh coriander) so I never go there. Don’t forget to add LOTS of fresh lemon juice though, you want all that zingy zip to cut through the richness.

I completely spaced and forgot sour cream but I have a container of cream cheese in the fridge, Can I use that?
You could but it will be much thicker. Maybe try thinning it down with a little milk/cream?
I had to take a snack to a Christmas party last night and decided to take this because it is such an easy recipe and it was the first thing to disappear. Such a great idea and the sor cream dip recipe is delicious! Thanks!
Yay! So glad it was such a hit!
I always take a crudités platter to gatherings because I want my kids to have something healthy to snack on. I love the sour cream dip with this, I usually just do ranch but I love how simple and fresh this dip is.
Same Jenna! And luckily my kids love crunchy, fresh veg so it’s a win-win.
I love this platter for the holiday season!
It’s always a fan favorite!
