Prepare the Carrots.
Wash the carrots thoroughly. Peel them using a vegetable peeler to remove the outer skin. Then, cut the carrots into sticks about 3-4 inches long and around 1/2 inch thick. Place the carrot sticks in a bowl or on a plate.
Tip: If carrots are very fresh and tender, peeling is optional. -
Prepare the Cucumbers.
Wash the cucumber well. Peel the cucumber if you prefer a milder taste and smoother texture. Cut the cucumber into sticks similar in size to the carrot sticks, about 3-4 inches long and 1/2 inch thick. Arrange the cucumber sticks on the same plate or bowl with the carrots.
Tip: Use a sharp knife for clean cuts and to avoid crushing the cucumber. -
Serve with Tzatziki Sauce.
Measure out 1/4 cup of tzatziki sauce. Place it in a small bowl or ramekin for dipping. Serve the carrot and cucumber sticks alongside the tzatziki sauce on a plate.
Tip: If you want a chilled dip, refrigerate the tzatziki for 10 minutes before serving.
Pro tips
- Cut vegetables into uniform sticks for even dipping and an attractive presentation.
- If making tzatziki at home, strain the yogurt well to avoid watery sauce.
