Peter Cauliflower Tail

The Easter Bunny just loves fresh, crisp
vegetables and so will your kids when they
get to dip them in this hummus-filled bunny
bowl.

• 1 4-in. roll
• 3 raisins
• 6 chives
• 1 loaf of French bread, halved
• 1 8-in. loaf of round bread
• Hummus dip-recipe down below
• Medium-size cauliflower floret
• Raw vegetables, such as baby carrots,
  celery and radishes
  

HUMMUS DIP:

• 6 tbsp. tahini paste
• 6 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
• 6 tbsp. olive oil
• 4 garlic cloves, crushed
• 2 14-oz. cans chickpeas, drained
• 10 to 12 tbsp. water

For the bunny's eyes and nose, make slits in the
roll and insert the raisins. For whiskers, poke
holes with a toothpick and insert the chives.
Place the cut ends of the French bread onto the
top of the roll for ears; secure with toothpicks.
Cut and scoop out a 3-inch hole in the top of
the round bread and fill the well with hummus.
Add a cauliflower tail and surround the bunny
with veggies.


TO MAKE HUMMUS DIP:
Place all ingredients, except the water, in the
bowl of a food processor; puree until smooth.
If necessary, add the water to make the mixture
creamy. Place in the bunny bread "bowl".
