What do I need?

  • Selection of fresh vegetables – try celery, cucumber, orange and red peppers, baby carrots and sweet radishes

How do I make them?

  1. Wash all the vegetables. Slice the celery, cucumber and peppers into thin strips.
  2. To make each dip, simply mix the ingredients together.
  3. Store the three dips and the vegetables in separate airtight containers and keep them in the fridge until needed.
