Ingredients you will need for this fun snack are:

Crackers

Hummus

Grape tomatoes

Olives

How to prepare the ladybugs:

For the body of the ladybug, cut a “V” out of the blossom end of the grape tomato.

For the ladybug’s head, cut a medium olive in half through the middle. Then take one half of the olive and cut about a 1/3 off, from top to bottom, so the “head” won’t roll around when you place it on the cracker.

How to assemble the Ladybug Crackers:

Spread hummus onto the cracker

Place the tomato on top of the hummus

Add the head to the stem end of the tomato

Garnish with a parsley or cilantro leaf

~And enjoy!
