Notes

  1. If you want to cut your vegetables into “fancy” shapes, here is how I did it:
  • Use a small round cookie cutter to cut the red peppers into shapes.
  • Create shaped cucumbers by cutting triangles out of the edge of the cucumber as shown.
  • Separate parsley and set aside long pieces. Place a small stack of matchstick carrots on a long piece of parsley and tie. Tuck the loose end and repeat until you have the desired number of carrot bunches.
