 Ingredients:

  • 1 celery stalk
  • 1 carrot, peeled
  • 1/2 green pepper
  • 2 tablespoons ranch-style salad dressing
  • 1 slice pita bread

Directions: Remember to Wash Your Hands!

1. Wash vegetables and chop into small pieces.
2. Combine vegetables in a small bowl and add dressing.
3. Cut pita bread into two half-moon shapes and open pita pocket. Stuff veggies into each pocket.


Helpful Hints:

For variety, try adding other chopped vegetables — broccoli, cauliflower or onion — to the sandwich filling. If you’re serving these at lunchtime, stuff some chopped ham or turkey in with the vegetables for an even more nutritious meal.

Safety Tip:

Use knives carefully. Adult supervision is a must when chopping vegetables with a sharp knife. Younger kids can help by peeling carrots and washing vegetables.
