Ingredients

2 carrots, cut into 3-inch sticks
2 celery stalks, cut into 3-inch sticks
2 1/2 cups jicama, peeled and cut into 3-inch sticks
5 medium radishes, trimmed
6 green onions (scallions), trimmed
1 cup fat-free sour cream
1 cup fresh salsa

Directions

1. To prepare the salsa, combine lime juice, tomatoes, onions, jalapeño peppers, cilantro, and salt in a medium bowl. Mix well.
2. Arrange the prepared vegetables on a platter, creating an attractive display.
3. In a small bowl, mix the sour cream and salsa together.
4. Serve the vegetable platter alongside the salsa dip, allowing guests to dip the fresh vegetables into the flavorful salsa.

Notes

Choose a variety of colorful vegetables to make the platter look more attractive and appetizing. Consider options like cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumber slices, and sugar snap peas.

If you're making your own salsa dip, you can adjust the heat level to your liking by adding more or less jalapeno pepper. Taste as you go and gradually add more if desired.

You can also customize the salsa dip by adding other ingredients, such as diced avocado or mango, to give it more flavor and texture. Get creative and experiment with different combinations.

Serve the platter chilled or at room temperature, depending on your preference and the weather. Keeping it chilled can help maintain the freshness of the vegetables.

To make the platter more filling, you can add some protein-rich ingredients such as boiled eggs, roasted nuts, or hummus. These additions will provide extra nutrients and help satisfy hunger.

If you're bringing the platter to a party or gathering, it's a good idea to pack the vegetables and dip separately to keep them fresh and prevent the dip from spilling during transportation. You can assemble the platter once you arrive.

Don't be afraid to experiment with different dipping sauces to add variety to your platter. Consider options like ranch, hummus, or tzatziki. This will give your guests more options to enjoy with the vegetable medley.
