I'm planning my New Year's cocktail party and trying to find recipes
for vegetable appetizers beyond the tray of cold celery and carrot
sticks.
I've already filled out the protein servings with shrimp cocktail,
steak bites in puff pastry, and deviled eggs. I've got plenty of
sweets, a box of Russel Stover chocolates, a rum cake, and cream puffs
(and I know people will bring cookies).
I'll probably have some good olives and cheese, and some kind of
stuffed mushroom. Does anyone have suggestions for other vegetable
snacks I could serve? They don't necessarily have to be finger foods.

Dawn,
A very tasty way to serve veggies, that everyone loves, is a veggie "pizza". You press crescent roll dough into a rimmed baking sheet and bake until deep golden. Let cool completely. In the meantime, make the spread, which is 8 ounces of cream cheese, 8 ounces of sour cream, and 1-2 packets of ranch dip mix or 2 tbsp (or more, to taste) of your favorite ranch seasoning. Next, prepare the veggies. I usually use carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, red cabbage, snap peas, and sometimes asparagus tips. I shred the cabbage and julienne the carrots, the rest are just cut into small pieces. Spread the ranch mixture on cooled "pizza" crust, then top with the vegetables. You can top with shredded cheese if you like as well. Cut into squares and serve.
It's always a big hit!
