In celebration of May Day I made this cute dancing around the maypole lunch for my 15 year old niece. She loved it!
I mostly followed these directions to dye the pasta. Other than dying the pasta (which was a little messy), this lunch was fast to prepare.
Container: Kokeshi box
Top Tier: Pecans
Middle Tier: Nishiki rice with dyed Mafaldine pasta and spaghetti for the maypole. I wanted to use linguini for the maypole but decided to use what I had in my pantry. Animal picks are the dancers.
Bottom Tier: Flower shaped cucumber with carrots and lettuce
On the Side: Clementine
