Game Day Veggie Cups

by

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Game Day Veggie Dip Cups are individual cups layered with ranch dressing and slices of fresh vegetables: carrots, cucumbers, peppers, celery and tomatoes.

THE PERFECT PARTY FOOD

I love some chicken wings when watching football but I do enjoy some fresh veggies. Especially when I can dip them in some ranch dressing. These easy individual serving cups are absolutely perfect for a crowd (no worries about double dippers here!) Pick up a cup of ranch dip and fresh cut veggies and snack away!

EASY FOR SERVING

I made these veggie cups with carrots, celery, cucumber, yellow peppers and grape tomatoes. However, you can use whatever you enjoy and you know your family and kids will eat.

Clear little cups with slices of veggies in ranch dressing.

INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (FULL RECIPE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST)

  • ranch vegetable dip
  • celery
  • carrots
  • yellow peppers
  • English cucumber
  • clear individual serving cups
a tub of ranch dressing surrounded by fresh vegetables.

HOW TO MAKE VEGGIE DIP CUPS:

Cut all the veggies into 3-inch long strips. With English cucumbers, you don't even need to peel them since the peel is tender and edible.

Place about 2 tablespoons of Marzetti® Ranch! Veggie Dip into the bottom of each individual serving cup. Place veggie sticks into the dip in the bottom of each cup (placing the grape tomatoes in the middle.)

    Hi can I make these cups the day before?

    • Brandie @ The Country Cook

      Hi Lori! You sure can. If possible, try to cover them up with plastic wrap in maybe a large tray to keep them as fresh as possible!

    How far in advance can you assemble the cups before veggies would get soggy from the dip? Would like to have these for my daughters wedding but would need to assemble probably 5 hours before serving

      Hi Marsha - you can certainly make these 5 hours in advance. Just keep them chilled! 🙂

      I’m making these for my dad’s 80th birthday party. I plan to prep everything and out the dip in the cups. Just before her party, I’ll add the veggies (already cut and ready to put in). That way they won’t get soggy but it should go fast. I’m trying to minimize my work at the party so I can visit and take photos.

        Before “the” party.
