Prep Time: 10 minutes
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ingredients:
- 1 green, yellow, or red bell pepper, washed
- 1 bunch of celery, washed
- 1 carrot, washed and peeled
- 2 Tbsp veggie dip
Equipment:
- Knife
- Plastic wrap
- Zip-top bag
Directions:
- Cut the pepper in half (from side to side). Clean out the seeds from the inside. Now you have two pieces. One will be your pepper-shaped bowl. One will be your pepper- shaped lid.
- Cut the carrot into skinny sticks about 4 inches long.
- Cut the celery into skinny sticks so each one is about 4 inches long.
- Put veggie dip in the bottom of your pepper bowl.
- Arrange celery sticks and carrot sticks in the pepper bowl.
- Place the pepper lid on top of the pepper bowl.
- Now you’ve got a portable veggie treat! You can pull out the veggies and eat them with a little veggie dip. Then, when you’re finished with the veggies, it’s time to eat the bowl and lid!
To Serve:
Wrap the veggie bowl in plastic wrap and then a zip-top bag.
