Steps
Tap an underlined word for a quick explanation.
the grapes and baby carrots under cold water and shake them dry.
Rinse. Rinsing means running cold water over rice or canned beans in a strainer while you swish them around. It washes off loose starch and can liquid, so rice cooks up fluffy and beans taste clean.
How you’ll know: The water running out goes from cloudy to mostly clear; it doesn’t have to be perfect.
Roll each slice of turkey into a loose tube.
Dolly’s tip: Deli meat keeps in the fridge 3 to 5 days once the package is open, so pick the freshest one.Food safety: If you’re pregnant, heat deli meat, hot dogs, salami, pepperoni and smoked salmon until steaming hot, 165°F, just before eating, or leave them out. Eaten cold, they carry a small risk of listeria.
Fold each cheese slice in half and tear it along the fold, then in half again, into little squares.
Scrape the hummus onto one side of a plate with the fork for dipping.
Arrange the turkey, cheese, crackers, carrots and grapes around the hummus in little piles, with the almonds in the gaps.
Dolly’s tip: Piles look better than rows. Put the colors next to each other and it looks like you tried.Eat it by building bites: a cracker, a square of cheese, a curl of turkey, then a carrot through the hummus.
