A beautiful veggie platter is easy to do, very affordable, and can be quite impressive. Arrange sliced carrots, celery, quartered mushrooms, zucchini slices, or any other combination of fresh slices veggies. I love to blanch whole green beans in boiling water for about 5 minutes and then transfer them to ice water, then blot them dry with a paper towel. I also like to use this method for broccoli, asparagus, cauliflower, and new potato slices. For a special addition, wrap some of the veggies with sliced prosciutto.Serve with your favorite dip. I make an easy curry dip by combining low-fat sour cream, curry powder, and dijon mustard.

You know what else is really good? To spread some boursin cheese on the proscuitto before you wrap it around the asparagus. It's a little messy and you need to do a couple of hours in advance so it has time to set up. It's worth it, thought.
