Vegetable Dip

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 1/2 cups chopped carrots
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped celery
  • 1 chopped cucumber
  • 1 chopped green bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese
  • Lemon juice
  • Fresh ground pepper
  • Optional: Tony Chachere’s Original Creole Seasoning

PREPARATION

Chop carrots, celery, cucumber and bell pepper into small pieces and combine in a large bowl. Add the cream cheese and 1-2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Mix well into a thick dip consistency. Add ground pepper to taste and Tony Chachere’s seasoning for added spice. Serve with crackers, if desired.

Tip: Add just a bit of cream cheese and lemon juice, mix, and then do a taste test. You may want to add a little more of something, but it helps to be conservative to get just the right mix. Ingredients are approximate and easier to add a little as you go.

Store covered in the refrigerator. Flavors improve if stored 4-6 hours before serving.
