Healthy Veggie Sticks with Greek Yogurt Dip
When you’re thinking about eating healthy but don’t want to deal with complicated salads, this vibrant veggie stick platter is the answer. Carrots cut into thick shreds become visually appealing, pairing with juicy cherry tomatoes for an energetic combo, while the homemade Greek yogurt dip delivers creamy, satisfying richness. The coarse shredding blade of the Geedel Vegetable Chopper is the secret weapon for creating this light snack.
Ingredients:
- 2 carrots
- 1 celery stalk
- ½ cucumber
- 1 pack of cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill or mint, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt, black pepper
- A drizzle of olive oil
Instructions:
1. Prepare the veggie sticks:
Wash and peel the carrots, celery, and cucumber. Using the Geedel Hand Vegetable Chopper with the coarse shredding blade, cut the carrots into evenly thick, crunchy shreds. Repeat with the celery and cucumber to get colorful veggie shreds. The coarse shreds offer more texture than fine ones and hold dip better.
2. Make the Greek yogurt dip:
In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, lemon juice, crushed garlic, chopped herbs, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Drizzle with a little olive oil and let sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
3. Assemble the platter:
Choose a long platter or large bowl and arrange the colorful veggie shreds in separate piles or side-by-side for a bountiful look. Scatter washed cherry tomatoes around them.
4. Serve:
Place the prepared Greek yogurt dip in a small bowl in the center of the platter. Eat by hand, dipping the cool, crunchy veggie sticks into the smooth, tangy dip for a refreshing, guilt-free treat.
Summary:
This platter perfectly combines health and convenience. The coarse shredding blade of the Geedel Vegetable Chopper not only processes root vegetables quickly but also creates a unique texture that elevates the quality and enjoyment of the dish—making healthy snacking anything but boring.
