Ingredients
- – beef salami – 4 stalks (about 200g)
- – 1 large zucchini (about 300g)
- – 1 medium red bell pepper (about 150g)
- – 1 medium orange bell pepper (about 150g)
- – 1 medium yellow bell pepper (about 150g)
- – 1 large carrot (about 100g)
- – 6 cherry or other small round tomatoes (about 150g)
- – hummus
- – 2 green olives
Instructions
- Put a bowl of hummus at the top of the platter to symbolize the skeleton’s head.
- Chop the beef salami into pieces to fashion the skeleton’s arms, shoulders, and legs, arranging them from the “shoulders” down to where the hands and feet would be.
- Cut the zucchini into slices and position them to represent the spine and pelvis.
- Cut the red, orange, and yellow bell peppers into strips and arrange them to resemble the skeleton’s ribcage, layering them for a vibrant effect.
- Chop the large carrot into smaller segments and position them at the ends of the beef salami arms to form the skeleton’s hands.
- Position the small, round tomatoes at the “joints,” such as the shoulders, elbows, and above the thighs.
- Use green olives to form the skeleton’s eyes and mouth. Keep it covered and chilled until it’s time to serve.
Notes
- Consider using a variety of colored cherry tomatoes to add a vibrant touch to the platter.
- Get creative with arranging the vegetables to enhance the skeleton’s realistic appearance.
- Chill the platter before serving to maintain the freshness and crispness of the ingredients.
