The Taylor Farms Vegetable Tray with Everything Ranch Dip is a big 52-ounce party tray of fresh cut veggies with two tubs of everything-seasoned ranch dip at Costco. It's the classic "grab-and-go crowd pleaser" — carrots, celery, broccoli, sweet peppers, sugar snap peas, cauliflower, grape tomatoes, and radishes — all washed and ready. It lives in the refrigerated section near the Costco Organic Celery Sticks and pairs perfectly next to the Costco Artichoke Jalapeño Dip on a party spread. If you've got a potluck, game day, or playdate coming up, this is the easy button.
Quick Take: A giant washed-and-ready veggie tray with two everything-ranch dips — the ultimate no-effort party platter. Verdict: Buy. Scores: Taste ⅘ · Value ⅘ · Convenience 5/5 · Stockpile Score ⅖.
First impression
I grabbed this for a family get-together and it saved me so much prep. Everything's already washed and cut — you literally peel the lid, set it on the table, and you're done. The veggies were crisp and fresh (not the sad, dried-out cut veggies you sometimes get), and the everything ranch dip is the real draw. It's a creamy ranch with that everything-bagel seasoning mixed in — poppy seeds, sesame, garlic, onion — and it's genuinely more interesting than plain ranch. The two tubs mean you can put dip at both ends of the table, which is smart for a crowd.
Price & value
The 52-ounce tray runs around $11.99 at Costco (I've seen it marked down to $3.99 near the sell-by date). It makes about 12 servings of a cup of veggies plus dip, so for a party of 8 to 12 people, that's roughly $1 per person for a fresh, no-prep appetizer. Compared to buying whole veggies and cutting them yourself (cheaper but way more work) or a smaller grocery-store tray, this is a fair deal for the convenience. The catch is freshness — cut veggies don't last long, so plan to serve it within a few days.
Nutrition snapshot
Nutrition snapshot (per 1 cup veggies + 3 tablespoon ranch / 123g): 190 cal · 17g fat (3g saturated) · 10mg cholesterol · 330mg sodium · 9g carbs · 2g fiber · 5g sugar (1g added) · 2g protein. Notable: contains egg, milk, and sesame. Almost all the calories and fat come from the ranch dip — the veggies on their own are very low-cal, so go light on the dip if you want.
Taste, quality & how to serve it
The vegetables are fresh, crisp, and colorful — a nice variety that covers most preferences (sweet carrots and peppers for the kids, broccoli and cauliflower for the adults, snap peas and grape tomatoes for snacking). The everything ranch dip is what sets this apart from a basic veggie tray. It's thick, creamy, tangy, and the everything-bagel seasoning gives it a savory, garlicky depth that regular ranch doesn't have. My kids dipped everything in it, including things they'd normally refuse.
There's nothing to prepare — peel, reseal, serve. A few tips: keep it refrigerated until right before serving so the veggies stay crisp; the tray is resealable, so leftovers keep for a couple of days; and if you're hosting, transfer the veggies to a nicer platter and put the dip in a bowl for a more "homemade" look. For a bigger spread, serve it alongside a homemade crab guacamole dip so there's a second dip option, or add a warm veggie like air fryer buffalo cauliflower for a game-day twist.
What other shoppers are saying
Costco shoppers love this tray for parties and easy entertaining — the most common compliment is how fresh the veggies are and how good the everything ranch dip is compared to plain ranch. People appreciate the two dip tubs for larger gatherings.
The most common complaint is that the veggie-to-dip ratio can feel off (you may run out of dip before veggies, or vice versa), and that cut veggies don't stay crisp for long, so it's best eaten within a couple of days. A few shoppers also note the dip is the calorie bomb, not the veggies.
Who it's for & best uses
This tray is for anyone hosting a party, potluck, game day, or playdate, busy parents who want a healthy no-prep snack, and folks who like ranch on everything. Skip if you have an egg, milk, or sesame allergy (the dip contains all three), if it's just for one or two people (52 oz is a lot of veggies), or if you'd rather cut your own for less money.
A few easy ways to use it: as a party appetizer straight from the tray; as an after-school snack with the everything ranch; or repurpose leftover veggies into a stir-fry or soup so nothing goes to waste. The dip is also great on wraps and sandwiches.

The scores

- Value — ⅘. Fair price for a washed, cut, ready-to-serve party tray with two dips.
- Convenience — 5/5. Peel, reseal, serve. Zero prep.
- Stockpile Score — ⅖. Cut veggies don't keep — serve within a couple of days. Not a stockpile item.
Verdict: Buy
A solid Buy any time you're hosting or want a healthy no-prep snack for the week. The veggies are fresh, the everything ranch dip is a real upgrade over plain ranch, and the two-tub setup is perfect for a crowd. Not a Repeat-Buy in the stockpile sense (fresh veggies have a short window), but for parties, game days, and playdates, this tray is an easy grab that makes you look like you tried.
