Instructions
Prep All Vegetables
Wash and dry all vegetables thoroughly. Cut the yellow bell pepper into round coin shaped circles. Break broccoli into similar sized florets. Leave cherry tomatoes and sugar snap peas whole.
Thread the Caterpillar Bodies
Thread vegetables onto skewers alternating colors and shapes to create a striped caterpillar pattern. Start with a cherry tomato as the head and continue with broccoli, bell pepper, snap pea, and repeat down the length of the skewer.
Create the Caterpillar Face
Use a toothpick to attach two small olive or raisin pieces to the first cherry tomato on each skewer to create eyes. You can also use a dab of cream cheese to help small decorations stick to the tomato head.
Arrange and Serve
Lay all caterpillar skewers parallel on a large green platter lined with lettuce leaves to look like grass. Place a small bowl of ranch dressing at the side and serve immediately.
