Ingredients:
1 whole cauliflower
1 tub Spinach and Water Chestnut dip
2 radishes
assorted raw vegetables, crackers for dipping
Cut florets from the top of the cauliflower until you have a cauliflower 'bowl'. Remove greens from bottom. Cut stems from radishes, leave the root, remove skin. Using toothpicks and food coloring, draw an eyeball on the flat part of the radish (where the top was). The root will look like the optic nerve. Fill cauliflower with dip, garnish with radish 'eyes', serve with veggies and crackers.
