Know More About Crudites

The popular vegetable choices for crudités include carrot sticks, celery sticks, bell pepper strips, asparagus spears, broccoli, zucchini, green beans and cauliflower. These vegetables are dipped in vinaigrette, ranch dressing or other sauces.

Why are these vegetables the most common choice? It’s because when serving crudités, it’s important to consider three things: taste, texture and appearance.

The taste of the vegetables included in crudités should complement one another with the mild tasting ones to set-off the taste of those with stronger flavor. A wide variety of vegetables should also make it easier for guests to choose, especially those with a specific taste or preference when it comes to vegetables.

Food is also art. The way it looks, the way it is presented should also be considered together with its taste so that a balance will be created. Consider experimenting with different varieties of vegetables. Take Cauliflower for example, based on color there is a purple, orange and white and based on location there is an Asian cauliflowers that differ in form and taste from European cauliflowers. Consider these things.

So that the vegetable dish will be delicious, cook it. Use your preferred method, this will add to the lasting taste. Like cauliflowers, they can be eaten fresh but if they are cooked properly there true taste will show.
