Ingredients

2 medium carrots, cut into 3-inch sticks

2 medium celery stalks, cut into 3-inch sticks

1 cup green bell pepper, cut into strips

1 cup fat-free sour cream

2 medium tomatoes, finely chopped

1/2 medium onion, finely chopped

3 jalapeño chiles, finely chopped with seeds removed

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped

1 lime, juiced

1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

Prepare the fresh salsa by combining the chopped tomatoes, onion, jalapeños, and cilantro in a medium bowl.
Squeeze the lime juice over the tomato mixture and stir gently to combine.
Add the salt and mix well. Let the salsa sit for 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
In a separate bowl, place the fat-free sour cream as the base for the dip.
Fold the fresh salsa into the sour cream until well combined, creating a creamy salsa dip.
Arrange the carrot sticks, celery sticks, and bell pepper strips on a serving platter.
Place the salsa dip in a bowl in the center of the vegetable arrangement and serve immediately.

Every ingredient is a Charlotte staple available at any Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Walmart, or ALDI without special shopping. The cost per serving is roughly $1.50 to $2.00, driven entirely by sour cream and fresh vegetables that are cheap year-round at local chains. The 15-minute stated time is honest—chopping vegetables and mixing salsa takes exactly that, no hidden steps. This is a no-fuss vegetable plate with dip that works for families, requires zero active cooking, and holds well in the fridge for snacking across a few days.
