Prepare the Carrots.
Start by washing the carrots thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Peel the carrots using a vegetable peeler. Then, cut the carrots into sticks about 3 to 4 inches long and about 1/2 inch thick for easy dipping.
Tip: If you want extra crunch, soak the carrot sticks in cold water for 10 minutes before serving. -
Prepare the Celery.
Wash the celery stalks thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Trim off the ends and cut the celery into sticks approximately the same size as the carrot sticks for uniformity.
Tip: To keep celery crisp, wrap the cut sticks in a damp paper towel and store in the fridge until serving. -
Serve with Ranch Dip.
Place the prepared carrot and celery sticks on a serving plate. Spoon 3 tablespoons of ranch dip into a small bowl or ramekin for dipping. Arrange the dip in the center or on the side for easy access.
Tip: If using store-bought ranch dip, give it a good stir before serving to mix any separated ingredients.
Pro tips
- For extra flavor, sprinkle a little black pepper or paprika on the ranch dip.
- Chill the vegetables and ranch dip before serving for a refreshing snack.
