The fresh veggies themselves are pretty self-explanatory, looking at the photo. I used a big yellow bell pepper to hold the dip. Cut about 1/3 off the top to stick in 2 whole cloves for the turkey's eyes ~ a cucumber and sliver of red bell (or sweet mini) pepper as the "gobble". You may need to slice a very thin layer off part of the bottom so it sits up straight on your platter.
All fresh: BROCCOLI Crowns ~ Sugar Snap Peas (my favorite) ~ baby carrots ~ sliced English (Hothouse) cucumber ~ red bell pepper ~ Radish ROSES. My TIP: is to put the broccoli and sugar snap peas into a microwave-proof dish with about 1/4 cup water. Cover (I use waxed paper) and microwave about 2 minutes. You don't want to cook them ~ just make them bright green.
Mustard Dill Dip: equal parts Dijon (or Spicy Brown) Mustard mixed with mayonnaise and LOTS of dillweed (put in what you think is enough, then another 2 or 3 good shakes of the bottle).
