Fresh Vegetable Snacks
I find these fresh vegetable slices a great alternative from chips and other snacks! I like the cucumber sticks , carrot sticks and tomato wedges with a little salt and pepper. If you want to make a healthy snack like this, try using delicious dipped in yogurt-green onion dip. It is made with thick plain yogurt, a touch of reduced-fat mayo, chopped green onions and fresh herbs you can get like dill, oregano and parsley. Cauliflower florets are also good dipped in this.
Raw broccoli spears are fine too but I prefer them very lightly steamed and chilled. It tastes delicious with a bit of balsamic vinegar, ditto for asparagus, sliced bell peppers, baby carrots or carrot sticks, fresh sweet peas, cauliflower grape tomatoes and cucumber slices. Try dipping them in hummus or fat free ranch dressing.
