Servings 8
Ingredients
- celery - 4 stalks should be enough
- 1 large cucumber
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 medium orange bell pepper
- 1 medium yellow bell pepper
- 1 large carrot
- 6 cocktail or other small round tomatoes
- dip
- 2 black olives
Instructions
- Place a bowl of dip at the top of the tray to represent the skeleton's skull.
- Cut up 4 celery stalks to create the skeleton's arms, shoulders and legs. Lay them out from the "shoulders" down to where the hands and feet would go.
- Slice the cucumbers and arrange the pieces to form the spine and the pelvic bone.
- Slice red, orange, and yellow bell peppers into strips and lay them out to form the ribcage of the skeleton, layering them to create a colorful look.
- Cut the large carrot into smaller pieces and arrange them at the ends of the celery stalk arms to form the skeleton’s hands.
- Place small, round tomatoes at the "joints," such as shoulders, elbows, and above the thighs.
- Use black olives to create the skeleton’s eyes and mouth. Keep covered and refrigerated until ready to serve.
