Ingredients

Jicama 1 , peeled and sliced into 1/2" circles
Whipped light cream cheese 2 Tablespoon
Chives 12
Cherry tomatoes 2 , halved
Persian cucumber 1 , sliced
Edamame 8
Radishes 2 , tops removed and sliced lengthwise
Red radishes 2 , cut into coins
Broccoli florets 8
Carrots 8 Small , peeled (bolthouse farms carrots)

Directions

GETTING READY

Place the whipped cream in a ziplock bag and cut a small piece off the corner to create a piping bag.

Slice one half of the persian cucumber into coins and the other half slice on the bias.

 

MAKING

Place a jicama circle on a plate.

Place 2 of the lengthwise cucumber slices at the top of the jicama to create ears. Squeeze a dollop of cream cheese onto the cucumbers and top with 2 slices of the breakfast radish.

Squeeze 2 small dots of cream cheese near the top of the jicama circle and press a radish circle onto each one to form eyes. Using the cream cheese as a "glue", press a cucumber coin and an edamame onto each radish eye.

Squeeze a small dot of cream cheese onto the center of the jicama circle and place 3 chives on top of the cream cheese, spreading them out to form whiskers. Place a cherry tomato half on top of the chives to create a nose.

Place 2 carrots next to the Veggie Bunny and place the broccoli florets at the top of the carrots.
