Carrot Patches


Well, isn't this just the simplest and cutest idea ever?! These Carrot Patches would make a great last minute goodie for your Easter gathering this weekend. If I use this idea, I might try a thick ranch dip so the carrots can still stay propped up. :)

Ingredients
hummus
baby carrots
curly parsley
small terra cotta pots

Directions
Spoon hummus into small cups that will fit inside the pots.

Shortly before serving, poke a hole in the carrots using a toothpick and insert a small piece of parsley. You’ll want 3 to 4 carrots per pot.

“Plant” the carrots in the pot by putting the carrots in the hummus. As a bonus, you can also send home carrot seeds with the pots so each person can plant their own carrots at home!
