These Fresh Veggie Shooters are so cute, and good for you as well. Plus it was a good way for me to use up some homemade Ranch dressing–which made a ton, or a half gallon at least. Really, it filled a half gallon pitcher. Tasty. I am seriously a homemade Ranch Dressing snob now. I can’t stand to even buy the Hidden Valley Ranch, bottled, from the store! I will, however, buy their mix and make it at home. So much better than the bottled.
I could not really tell you a source for the shooters as I have had them in several different venues–our first blog launch party (made by Julie), at an ice cream social (yes, we needed the contrast. Opposition in all things, right?) and once at an Arts Council board meeting (made by me).
See how versatile these are? And I had enough left over (because I forgot where to turn on the way to the board meeting host’s home and almost everyone had “helped their plate” by the time I got there) to serve as a healthy snack to some of the teenaged girls at church after a yoga class! Awesome. Love to get more bang for my buck.
How do you like the way that I repurposed that chips & salsa basket server? Yep, those little plastic “shot glasses” fit right in there, and I had room for a pretty flower in the middle.
I plan on making these soon, because I need some healthier snack options these days. They would also be a good side to these burgers.
Fresh Veggie Shooters

Ingredients
- Celery, cut into 3-4 inch sticks
- Baby Carrots, cut in half, lengthwise
- Ranch Dressing
Directions
- Step 1
- You will need to purchase plastic “shot” glasses. I got mine locally at Party City . These glasses are so versatile and come in several colors but you will want to use clear.
- Step 2
- Squirt about a tablespoon of Ranch dressing into the bottom of each glass. Next, stand the celery and carrots into the dressing. I used 5 celery sticks and the two carrot halves, but play with it and see what you like. It’s also really good with zucchini, yellow squash, red or green bell peppers, etc.
- Step 3
- Serve these in a fun way or just on a tray. I used my chips/salsa basket. Looks really festive, don’t you think?
