Festive bunny-shaped vegetable platter perfect for spring gatherings and healthy snacking.

# Ingredient List:

→ Vegetables

01 - 1 large head cauliflower, cut into florets
02 - 2 large cucumbers, sliced lengthwise
03 - 1 pint cherry tomatoes
04 - 1 large red bell pepper, cut into strips
05 - 2 large carrots, cut into thin sticks
06 - 1 bunch celery, sliced
07 - 1 cup sugar snap peas

→ Other

08 - 2 black olives
09 - 1 cup ranch or hummus dip

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - Wash all vegetables thoroughly. Peel carrots and cucumbers as desired. Cut cauliflower into bite-sized florets. Slice cucumbers lengthwise into long ovals. Cut red bell pepper into strips. Slice carrots into thin sticks for whiskers. Cut celery and snap peas into manageable pieces.
02 - Arrange cauliflower florets in an oval shape on a large serving tray to create the bunny's face. Create a small separate cluster of cauliflower florets for the tail.
03 - Position sliced cucumbers in long oval shapes above the face to form bunny ears. Fill the center of each ear with red bell pepper strips for color contrast.
04 - Place cherry tomatoes on the lower portion of the face to create cheeks. Arrange carrot sticks radiating outward from the center of the face as whiskers. Position black olives as eyes. Place a small piece of red bell pepper in the center as the nose.
05 - Fill any gaps around the bunny with celery slices and sugar snap peas for green accents. Arrange additional cherry tomatoes and vegetables decoratively around the platter edge. Place ranch or hummus dip in a small bowl near the bunny for serving.

# Tips from hearthlykitchen:

01 -
  • The delight on everyone's faces when they realize what you've created is absolutely worth the extra prep time
  • Suddenly vegetables become the star of the table instead of the obligatory healthy option nobody touches
02 -
  • Work with cold vegetables straight from the refrigerator since they'll hold their shape better and stay crisp longer on the tray
  • The cauliflower works best as your base since the florets naturally interlock and hold the rest of the design together securely
03 -
  • Choose cauliflower with tightly packed florets for the fluffiest, most substantial bunny face that holds together beautifully
  • Pat all vegetables dry after washing so your design stays crisp and water doesn't pool on the serving tray
