Notes

Transportation: If you're transporting the veggie  platter, it's best to bring the individual ingredients to the location and assemble there. If you must assemble your veggie tray beforehand, be prepared to readjust vegetables, nuts and dip after you transport, as ingredients may shift.
Freshness: Use the freshest vegetables possible for the best taste and appearance.
Customization: Feel free to swap out vegetables based on your preferences or what's in season.
Dip Variety: Offer other dips alongside the hummus, such as ranch or spinach dip.
