Under the Sea Fun Octopus Vegetable Platter

Do you have a get together coming up? If so be sure to impress with an Under the Sea Octopus Vegetable Platter. This could be great for themed birthday parties and definitely perfect for a Finding Dory party. The platter is simple to make and honestly won’t take any extra ingredients (other than the candy eyes) above and beyond a normal vegetable platter.

Ingredients

Cucumbers
Red pepper
Yellow pepper
Orange pepper
Celery
Ranch vegetable dip
Candy eyes (I used Wilton Brand that I found at JoAnn Fabrics)
Any other vegetables you would like to include

Directions

Cut up the vegetables – you could use whatever your family favorites are. I cut up some colored peppers, cucumbers, and celery and used baby carrots
Cut the top off one pepper for the body of the octopus
Using another pepper of the same color cut out eight legs
Attach candy eyeballs (or you could use black olives) with a dab of ranch dressing on the back
Place the vegetables in a serving tray (a tray with sections is helpful).
Fill the center of the tray with ranch dip
Put the octopus body on top of the dressing and arrange the eight legs out on top of the other veggies
