Annie’s Veggie Boats
No dishes needed for this fun and healthy treat, bursting with antioxidants. Take this snack on the go, to a soccer game, or on a hike. This kid friendly recipe is fun to make as a team and even better to eat.
Ingredients
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 (If you would like lower fat, substitute low-fat or nonfat dressing, and change nutritional counts accordingly. )
Directions
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 inches long.
Cut celery into skinny sticks so each one is about 4 inches long. Add the snow peas.
Put a little salad dressing in the bottom of your pepper-shaped bowl.
Put the 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!
