For the grad party Lisa was looking for a easy way to serve relishes with dip and this worked out great and couldn't have been easier. While at the party store picking up paper plates and napkins she found these cute disposable square shot glasses and bamboo skewers. A squirt of ranch dressing in the bottom of the glass was the dip and then we placed in the shot glass a carrot stick, a celery stick, a green bean and a skewer with two small cherry tomatoes. Any long narrow vegetable would work. Red, yellow, orange or green peppers cut into narrow strips would be colorful and tasty. A pea pod would also work well or a stalk of asparagus. We had the vegetables all prepped in the kitchen and filled the shooters a tray at a time and swapped out a full tray for the empty tray as needed. The presentation was nice and they were very convenient for both the guests and the kitchen helpers.
Lisa used ranch dressing thinking that it would be familiar to most people but any favorite dip could be used. The ranch worked out nicely as it had a squirt type top on the bottle. Transferring your dip to a squirt bottle would make for filling the shooters neatly. Wouldn't these be good with fresh-from-the garden vegetables at their peak of flavor?
