Ingredients & Methods

Serves 2

Annie's Veggie Boats

 

1 green, yellow, or red bell pepper, washed

1 bunch of celery, washed

1 carrot, washed and peeled

Pea pods

Your favorite buttermilk salad dressing*

 

 

 

Method:

 

Cut the pepper in half (from side to side). Clean out the seeds from

the inside and wash well. 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. Add the

snow peas.

Put a little salad dressing in the bottom of your pepper-shaped bowl.

Put celery sticks, carrot sticks, and pepper slices into the pepper

bowl.

Now it's portable! You can eat the veggies with a little dressing.

Then when you're finished with the veggies, you are ready to eat the

bowl!

 

* If you would like lower fat, substitute low-fat or nonfat dressing,

and change nutritional counts accordingly.
