Equipment
- Chef's Knife
- Whisk
- Peeler
Ingredients
- 1 piece Jicama peeled and sliced into 1/2" circles
- 2 tablespoons Whipped Light Cream Cheese
- 12 stalks Chives
- 2 pieces Cherry Tomatoes halved
- 1 piece Persian Cucumbers
- 8 pieces Edamame
- 2 pieces Breakfast Radishes tops removed and sliced lengthwise
- 2 pieces Red Radishes cut into coins
- 8 pieces Broccoli Florets
- 8 pieces Bolthouse Farms Carrots peeled
Instructions
- Begin by placing a jicama circle on a plate. This will be the base of your bunny. Make sure it’s stable and evenly cut for a good foundation.
- Take the whipped cream and place it in a ziplock bag. Cut a small piece off the corner to create a makeshift piping bag. This will make it easier to apply the cream cheese later.
- Slice one half of the persian cucumber into coins for the ears. The other half should be sliced on the bias, which gives them a unique look.
- Attach the cucumber slices at the top of the jicama circle to create bunny ears. Squeeze a dollop of cream cheese onto the cucumbers to hold them in place, then top with two slices of breakfast radish for added flair.
- Near the top of the jicama circle, squeeze two small dots of cream cheese to create the eyes. Press a coin-sized red radish onto each dot to form the bunny's eyes. Using the cream cheese as a "glue", press a cucumber coin and an edamame onto each radish eye for extra detail.
- Add a small dot of cream cheese onto the center of the jicama circle and place three chives on top, spreading them out to create whiskers. Place a cherry tomato half on top of the chives to serve as the bunny's nose.
- Finally, place two carrots next to the Veggie Bunny, using them as the feet, and arrange broccoli florets at the top of the carrots to complete your adorable creation.
- Repeat these steps to create as many bunnies as you’d like for your table display!
Notes
Leftover assembled bunnies can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days, but they are best eaten fresh.
