What you do
- Wash the carrots, remove the top and tail, and peel them. Cut them into long strips and put into the medium mixing bowl.

Something else to try
For extra flavour, add 15ml spoon fresh coriander, finely chopped, to the salsa mixture.
You could also serve the vegetable crudités with houmus, or cottage or cream cheese.
