Ingredients:
- 1 cup baby carrots
- 1 cup cucumber, cut into sticks
- 1 cup bell peppers (any color), cut into sticks
- 1 cup celery, cut into sticks
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup hummus (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions:
- Start by washing all the vegetables thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or impurities. This step guarantees that your veggies are clean and ready to be enjoyed raw.
- On a cutting board, carefully cut the cucumber, bell peppers, and celery into uniform sticks for easy dipping. Aim for a size that can easily fit into the hummus without breaking.
- Arrange the cut vegetables on a large serving platter in a visually appealing manner. You can create sections for each type of veggie or make a colorful rainbow pattern for an inviting look.
- In a bowl, place the hummus in the center of the platter, or serve it in a separate small bowl alongside the veggie sticks. This allows for easy dipping and keeps everything neat.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh veggie sticks with hummus as a healthy snack or appetizer.
Extra Tips:
For added flavor, consider sprinkling some paprika or olive oil on top of the hummus before serving. You can also experiment with different types of vegetables, such as radishes or snap peas, to keep the snack interesting.
