How about a vegetable platter with HVR ranch dressing as a dip. Original
recipe dry mix with buttermilk made by you instead of a bottle of it.
I'd include broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, celery and green onions.
Some olives and pickles on the side. I personally wouldn't dip the
olives and pickles.
Speaking of olives, maybe an antipasto dish. Easy enough.
