Vegetable Platter Ingredients:
1 bunch of asparagus, rinsed 
1 bunch of multi-colored carrots, rinsed 
1 bunch radishes, rinsed 
2 beets, rinsed and cut into 1/4″ thick slices 
2 red onions, cut into 1/2″ think slices 
4 ounces baby Bella mushrooms, cleaned and dried 
3 bell peppers or jalapeños, sliced into quarters 
2 large heirloom tomatoes, cut into thick slices 
2 avocados, cut into thick slices 
olive oil, for brushing 
kosher salt 

Grilled Sweet Onion Dip Ingredients:
3 sweet onions, cut into 1/2″ thick slices 
3 cloves garlic 
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill 
3 tablespoons roughly chopped flat-leaf parsley 
1 cup Open NatureTM plain Greek Yogurt 
8 ounces neufchâtel cream cheese 
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 

Directions:
1. Prepare grill by brushing with oil and heating to medium high. Slice in half those carrots that are extra- 
thick. If tops are attached to carrots, trim them to 1/2 inch. Lay prepared vegetables onto a tray to carry 
out to the grill. Brush vegetables lightly with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt. 
2. Grill each vegetable until tender and crispy on the outside, and rotate each veggie so grill marks get on 
every side. Beets, grill about 10 minutes, carrots, radishes and mushrooms: 8-9 minutes; asparagus, 
onion, jalapeño and bell peppers: 5 minutes; tomato and avocado slices: 3-4 minutes. 
3. Remove each group of vegetables from the grill and place on a serving platter as they finish. Arrange 
water crackers on the platter next to the veggies. 
4. To make the dip: grill the onion slices for about 3 minutes per side. Remove, roughly chop, and add 
them to a bowl, along with grated garlic, dill, parsley, cream cheese, Greek yogurt and salt. Whip 
together. 
5. Scoop Sweet Onion Dip onto the serving platter, and sprinkle with a few more chopped herbs. 
6. Serve!
