Easy ingredients:

• 8 oz Sour Cream
• 1/2 packet Ranch Dressing Mix – or homemade
• 6 Cucumbers
• 30 Carrot Sticks
• 30 Celery Sticks

How to make Cucumber bites

1. Mix together sour cream and ranch dip and set aside.
2. Wash cucumbers and, using a peeler, make stripes on cucumbers.
3. Cut cucumbers into 1 1/2″ slices.
4. Use a melon baller to scoop out center of each to make a cup.
   
5. Fill with dip and insert a carrot and a celery stick. (Yield 30 servings)

Aren’t these just adorable?? Our kids just think they are super cute and you could change this up completely. You could use a different flavor of dip, or you could use different veggies instead of the carrot and celery. Take this simple recipe and make it your own. I think you will love it.
