Tips - Make the vegetables as appetizing and ready-to-eat as possible: rinse well, trim stems, remove spots and seeds, peel (if necessary), cut into sticks or rounds
- Arrange the vegetables on a nice platter with the dip(s) in the center
- Garnish the platter with slices or wedges of lemon, lime, orange, and/or tomato
Garnish the dips with minced parsley and/or a sprinkling of paprika and/or black pepper. Here are some ideas for Christmas or anytime else…

If you’re really short for time, mix half a teaspoon into some ketchup. Add a teaspoon of Soya sauce, and som very finely chopped celery or coriander and you can pass it off as an exotic dip.
Or just about anything out of a bottle.
