Crudité Garden
Is this Easy Easter Garden Crudite Dip Appetizer not the cutest thing you have EVER seen?
I recently saw something like this in the latest episode of The Food Network Magazine and I had to make it myself.
It is super easy to make and the kids went crazy over it. I mean, how could they not? It’s a little edible garden!
Blending regular cream cheese with another soft cheese that’s flavored, such as Boursin, will really give so much flavor and depth to this dip. If you haven’t tried Boursin cheese before, you’re in for a treat! It’s a creamy, yet crumbly cheese I’m sure you’ll love. Try serving it on top of a baguette, or on a cracker drizzled with balsamic glaze. Yum!
Pumpernickel bread is ideal for this recipe due to its mild and sweet flavor. Also, it makes the perfect “dirt” for this garden! I generally find pumpernickel bread at Trader Joe’s. Your local bakery may sell pumpernickel, too. If you do have trouble finding it, whole wheat bread can also be used as a substitute.
My favorite veggies to “plant” in the garden are radishes, baby carrots, mini bell peppers, and purple cauliflower. What veggies do you and your kids like? Add those with my recommendations, or use what your family will eat!
Have fun gardening and enjoying your “harvest”! I love to see your creativity in the kitchen! Share your Crudité Garden with me on IG @moremomma.
