Summer Veggie Plate Recipe

We like to think we have perfected the art of eating the rainbow. Want in on the secret? Lots of fruits and veggies, of course! This summer veggies plate is a great addition to a family barbeque or picnic in the park. Veggies can be a tasty treat if you buy fresh and organic then top them with delicious superfoods & seasonings.

A beautiful veggie plate like this one is such a great way to entertain and appeal to lots of different taste buds at any social gathering or family dinner. We started with a base of spiralized butternut squash for an enhanced flavor profile and added peppadew peppers, olives, and almonds. Peppadew peppers are beautiful South African peppers that little like tomatoes and have a sweet, slightly spicy taste. 

We topped everything with our powerhouse seasoner Green Dream Savory Blend which includes the detoxifying and nutritional properties of Green Dream with nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor and sea salt. Topped with pesto and you’re ready to dig in!

Gather This:

Spiralized butternut squash (or make your own using a spiralizer!)

1 cup peppadew peppers

1 tbsp pesto

1 cup olives

1 cup truffle macadamia almonds

1 tsp Green Dream Savory Blend

1 tsp pepper

Do This:

Roast the peppers in the oven at 350° for 8 minutes with EVOO and Green Dream Savory. While those are roasting, spiralize your butternut squash with a spiralizer then toss with Green Dream Savory Blend and pepper. Layer your spiralized squash onto a plate, then add olives, almonds and your roasted peppers. Top everything with a spoonful of pesto and enjoy!
