  • Yield: 6-10 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Cherry tomatoes (we used 7)

Cauliflower (we used 8 small - medium pieces)

1/2-3/4 of a red pepper, sliced into strips

1 cucumber - peeled, then cut in half and quartered

7 radishes, cut in half

1/3 cup sliced olives

1/2 slice pepper jack or other white cheese slice

Instructions

  1. Wash and cut your veggies.
  2. Use the cutout tool to cut 5 stars from the cheese.
  3. Line the tomatoes on the top of the tray, from the right edge, toward the left, until there’s about 2 1/2 – 3 inches left on the left side.
  4. Arrange the cauliflower under the tomatoes, then the red pepper slices.
  5. Fill the space  on the left, next to the 3 veggies with sliced olives, then arrange the cheese stars on the olives.
  6. Line the cucumbers in two rows all the way from left to right, then the radishes under those.
  7. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

More mouths to feed? Simply scale up the recipe if you’re feeding a bigger crowd or have a larger dish to fill.

If you are aiming for a more distinct blue, you could replace the olives with blueberries.
