INGREDIENTS

For veggie tray

• 2 cups baby carrots or large carrots sliced
• 1 orange bell pepper cut into strips
• 2 cups cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes
• 1 stalk celery (1 bunch is a stalk), cut into small strips
• 3 cups broccoli florets
• 2 cups sugar snap peas
• 2 cucumbers sliced
• 2 slices white cheese or string cheese

For curry dip

• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or plant-based yogurt of choice
• 1/2 cup plant-based mayonnaise made with the NutraMilk
• 1 tsp. onion powder
• 1 tsp. curry powder
• 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. apple cider vinegar

For plant-based mayonnaise

• ½ cup simple almond butter made with the NutraMilk
• ¼ cup sunflower oil
• 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
• 1 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp. Dijon mustard
• Salt to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

• Start by making almond butter in the NutraMilk if you don’t have a batch made.
• Process almond butter in the NutraMilk along with the rest of the mayonnaise ingredients - adding the oil gradually until ingredients emulsify and you have a thick and creamy consistency.
• Now, you can add the curry dip ingredients to the NutraMilk and process until you get a delicious creamy dip. Add water if you want a thinner consistency.

• Wash and dry all veggies. Prepare football shape by laying out baby carrots in the middle of your tray in an oval or football shape with slightly pointed ends
• Surround the football shape with all the green veggies like cucumber slices, celery strips, sugar snap peas, broccoli, etc.
• Add tomatoes around the edge of the football shape, to help define it.
• Cut up piece of white cheese into long strands or rectangles. Lay one long one down and cross it with 3-5 shorter pieces to make the football laces.
• Keep chilled until ready to serve with curry dip. Enjoy!
