Instructions
Place the sliced olives in 2 separate ramekins and put them on the board. These are the eyes of your Day of the Dead skull.
Arrange the cauliflower florets to create the shape of the skull on your charcuterie board or platter.
Put the cilantro on top of the skull head. Place the NatureSweet® Seasonal Medley tomatoes on top of the cilantro. Continue to fill out the shape of the skull with the rest of the tomatoes.
To create the mouth, slice a baby carrot so it's small enough for the sliced black olives to fit around it.
Arrange the rest of your charcuterie favorites around the top and sides to build out your Día de los Muertos skull.
Use fresh flowers or herbs to fill in the empty spaces at the end and dig in!
