There are quite a few veggies that are low calorie, filling, and are tasty enough to snack on without dip. The ones I eat when I just want to feel full without a bunch of calories are carrots (45 cal/100g), cucumbers (14 cal/100g), sugar snap peas ( 42 cal/100g), and yellow bell pepper (27 cal/100g).

The caveat being that taste is subjective.

If we're talking raw with no sauce I can't say there's any vegetable I'm keen to snack on, certainly none on your list.

Particularly if your body craves protein, then carrots won't really cut it.

I'm specifically talking about when you're hungry and want to eat, but your calorie budget is very small. Obviously you should still be eating an appropriate amount of protein over the course of a day.
