Egg Carton Charcuterie and Hummus Veggie Patch

This Easter, get creative by looking beyond traditional plates and dishes to serve your food.

Use an egg carton as a fun way to serve snacks: Simply fill the carton with whatever treats you want, whether vegetables like cucumbers and carrots or treats like candy and nuts.

To serve vegetables, look no further than a terracotta pot.

Fill the pot with hummus and then arrange vegetables like broccoli, carrots and pea pods on top to look like a vegetable patch.
