Prep time:
about 10 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 green, yellow, or red pepper, washed
- 1 bunch of celery, washed
- 1 carrot, washed and peeled
- your favorite salad dressing
Directions:
- Cut the pepper in half (from side to side). Clean out the
seeds and gunk from the inside. Now you have two pieces. One will
be your pepper-shaped bowl.
- Cut the other half of the pepper into skinny slices.
- Cut the carrot into skinny sticks about 4" long.
- Cut celery into skinny sticks so each one is about 4"
long.
- Put a little salad dressing in the bottom of your pepper
bowl.
- Put celery sticks, carrot sticks, and pepper slices into the
pepper bowl.
- Now you've got a portable veggie treat! You can pull out
the veggies and eat them with a little dressing. Then when
you're finished with the veggies, it's time to eat the
bowl!
