French crudités, pronounced kroo-dee-teh, are simply raw vegetables (sliced or whole), neatly arranged on a platter or board, and typically served with a sauce for dipping.
But for something so basic, a vegetable crudité platter can be the show-stopping star of your next party. And I always like to use beautiful fresh veggies on my appetizer table to balance heftier dishes like baked brie, shrimp fra diavolo, or bites of crispy smashed potatoes or Greek keftedes (meatballs).
