November is here and so are the holidays! Watch Eddie Ross from Ballard Designs show us a genius way to create and display an edible centerpiece for the holidays.
Eddie’s go-to vegetables are:
- Cabbage (to hold the dip)
- Kale (to create a leafy base)
- Asparagus
- Carrots
- Celery hearts
- Cherry tomatoes
- Bell peppers (yellow, orange and red)
- English cucumber
- Endive
- Haricot verts
- Radishes
- Waxed yellow beans
Eddie compares arranging a vegetable platter to creating a floral arrangement. “Think about where your color is going to be,” he offers. Group vegetables of similar shades together, such as pairing the carrots with the orange peppers, and you’ll end up with a beautiful spectrum of color. “The key is that there’s height and color and texture and it doesn’t just feel like flat vegetables in a bowl.”
