Method

  1. Cut the end off the pepper and twist the stalk to remove the core and seeds. Cut the pepper in half, then into strips (use scissors if you find it easier). Scrub the carrots with a stiff brush under cold running water to clean them. Wash the celery and cut each stick in half. Cut the cucumber in half lengthways, then cut each piece into 8 sticks. Chill in sealable containers until needed.
  2. Put the crunchy vegetable sticks and breadsticks into mini buckets or pots. Serve with the dips.
