Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup tzatziki or any dip like hummus ranch, or guacamole
  • 6 pitted black olives
  • 3 bell peppers any color, halved with stems on
  • 6 pairs edible candy eyes or homemade mozzarella-and-olive eyes
  • 3 Persian cucumbers sliced into rounds
  • 6 rainbow carrots halved lengthwise
  • 4 celery ribs
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved

Instructions

  • Make the Olive Spider: Slice one black olive lengthwise for the body. Slice another olive crosswise into 4 pieces, then cut each in half for 8 legs. Use half of another olive for the head. Place them on top of the dip to create a spider.
