For a healthy and crunchy contrast, fresh vegetables like carrot sticks, bell pepper strips, cucumber slices, and cherry tomatoes are excellent choices. They add a refreshing crunch and are a great way to incorporate more veggies into your diet.

For those who prefer a bit of heartiness, whole grain crackers or pita chips offer a satisfying crunch and are a healthier alternative to regular chips. Additionally, baked tortilla chips or pretzel sticks can add a fun twist to your dip.

These options not only taste great but also maintain the healthy aspect of the dip, making your snack both delicious and nutritious.
