Method

1. Wash and peel the vegetables and cut the carrots, cucumber, and celery into long finger-like sticks.
2. Wash the cherry tomatoes but leave them whole, or cut them in half if preferred.
3. Put a little of the dip at the bottom of each serving cup.
4. Place a few vegetable sticks vertically into the cups.
5. Thread 3 cherry tomatoes onto an appetizer skewer and place it beside the vegetable sticks.
