Taste the dip and adjust seasonings if needed. Transfer it to a serving bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the pita bread into small triangles and arrange them on a baking sheet.
Brush the pita triangles with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
Arrange the pita triangles, carrot sticks, celery sticks, and bell pepper strips on a platter around the spinach garlic dip.
