Ingredients

  • handful fresh pea shoots
  • 3-4  slices raw carrot
  • 2 slices cucumber
  • 1 mini Babybel cheese

Instructions

  • Harvest the pea shoots from your fairy garden by cutting near the base of the stem with kitchen scissors.
  • Place the pea shoots into a cardboard muffin cup or small bowl.
  • Using mini bento cutters, cut flower shapes from the carrot & cucumber slices.
  • Add the carrot and cucumber flowers to the pea shoots, arranging them on top to look like growing flowers.
  • Make the Babybel ladybird. Start by removing the outer wrapper from the cheese, leaving the wax layer intact.
  • Using a small round cutter, cut a semicircle from one side of the wax for the head, then remove the wax, leaving the cheese intact.
  • Cut a sharp triangle from the wax, point side towards the semi-circle you just removed. This will form the wings.
  • Using a tiny round cutter or the end of a drinking straw, cut dots from the wax and remove.
  • Add two of the wax dots back onto the cheese in the head area to form the eyes.
  • Pop the cheese ladybird on top of the salad to decorate, then serve immediately.
