# How to Make It:

01 - Wash all vegetables thoroughly. Peel carrots and cucumbers as desired. Cut cauliflower into bite-sized florets. Slice cucumbers lengthwise into long strips. Cut red bell pepper into strips. Slice carrots into thin sticks. Trim celery and cut into manageable pieces. Leave cherry tomatoes and snap peas whole.
02 - Arrange cauliflower florets in a large oval shape on the serving platter to create the bunny's face. Create a small separate cluster of cauliflower florets to form the bunny's tail.
03 - Place cucumber slices lengthwise above the face in two long oval shapes to form the outer ears. Fill the center of each cucumber ear with strips of red bell pepper for color contrast.
04 - Position cherry tomatoes on the lower portion of the face to create rosy cheeks. Arrange carrot sticks radiating outward from the center of the face on each side to form whiskers. Place black olives as eyes near the top center of the face. Add a small triangle or square piece of red bell pepper as the nose.
05 - Use celery sticks and sugar snap peas to fill any empty spaces around the bunny outline and add green accents throughout the platter. Arrange additional cherry tomatoes as decorative accents around the perimeter.
06 - Place ranch dressing or hummus in a small bowl and position it near the bunny for easy dipping. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
