Easy American Flag Vegetable Tray
This fun American Flag Vegetable Tray Platter and Dill Dip Recipe makes an easy 4th of July party idea! I love coming up with fun vegetable tray platters for a party and had a blast making this American Flag Vegetable Tray for Memorial Day.
With the 4th of July coming up soon, this easy red white and blue veggie tray idea is sure to be a hit with your party guests!
Getting creative with summer entertaining and grilling can be easy with these simple party food ideas. Pizza and a vegetable tray are the perfect combination.
After baking pizza on the grill, I’m totally hooked on pizza vs burgers or hot dogs for a barbecue! So you’ll notice some yummy Ristorante Pizza by Dr. Oetker on my patriotic party table. It’s the best for grilling because of the delicious thin crust.

Easy 4th of July Low Carb Recipe
For a low carb option this 4th of July, this veggie tray is one of the easiest things to make!
Along with the American flag vegetable tray and grilled pizzas, I made my favorite dill dip recipe and turned it blue to complete the American flag design.
I searched through my cabinets to find a blue square container and once it was all together, I thought this veggie tray turned out terrific!
How Do You Make An American Flag Vegetable Tray?
Making this vegetable tray is as easy as 1,2,3! I have to admit that dipping the delicious crispy pizza into the dill dip is very tasty!
I found these cute red, white and blue containers at Michaels and they were perfect for serving the grilled pizza.
Can you guess what I made the stars from? They are radishes cut with a small star fondant cutter! You could use cucumbers, but they won’t be as white. A star cookie cutter would be great too.
–> Get a star cookie cutter in various shapes on Amazon here.
How Did You Make the Dill Dip Blue?
I added blue food coloring to my dill dip. I think using a blue sandwich container also helped it look bright colored. You’ll want to gradually add a few drops of food coloring until you get the desired blue you like. Get a blue container like mine on Amazon here.
I hope you enjoy this vegetable tray platter idea! If you grill some pizza or make this veggie tray for the 4th of July, share a photo with me on social media. I’d love to see how it turned out!

Going to be having a go at the American Flag Vegetable Tray. No sure if it's a veg or a fruit but you could use Jicama for one of the white stripes.
