Gameday Veggie Tray
What type of yogurt to use for the dip?
I love using full-fat plain Greek yogurt. My favorite brands are Stonyfield, Chobani, and Fage. Real food fats are so beneficial to have in our diet. They keep us full, satisfied, and so many other health benefits. Don’t be afraid to eat full-fat, whole-fat real foods.

What you need to make a veggie tray
- Serving tray. I used a sheet pan to create the football veggie tray. But any large tray will work.
- Chop up your veggies. I chopped my cucumbers and sliced off the ends of the broccoli
- Slice your bell pepper. Chop 4 little pieces and 5 long slices to create the football threads
- Make the dip. Mix up greek yogurt ranch dip
How to make the football veggie tray
Gather and prepare all of your veggies. The veggies I used were:
- Sliced cucumbers
- Baby carrots
- Broccoli with the stems chopped
- Bell peppers – cut into 4 small pieces and 5 long pieces for the football thread
Grab the tray you are going to use. Add the bowl of dip to the bottom left side of the tray. Start by creating the outline of the football with the carrots. Once you have the football shape you like then fill it in with carrots. Layout the bell pepper pieces on top of the carrot football to look like a football thread.
Next, add the sliced cucumbers to fill the tray. Add broccoli to the empty spaces that the cucumbers didn’t fill.
How to store football veggie tray?
You can make your football veggie tray up to 12 hours in advance. Just cover the tray tightly with plastic wrap and keep it in the fridge. Before serving, give the ranch dip a good mix.
