Easter Bunny Charcuterie Board
This bunny-shaped veggie tray works well for Easter brunch, spring parties, or a kid-friendly snack table. The spinach dip bread bowl becomes the rabbit’s face while the vegetables and bread slices create the ears, whiskers, and colorful details around it. It’s simple to assemble, easy for guests to snack from, and adds a cheerful touch without needing complicated ingredients or tools.
Timesaving Tips and Variations
Putting together a themed appetizer doesn’t have to take much time, especially when you prep a few ingredients ahead of time. Small adjustments can also help you customize the look or use what you already have in your kitchen.
- If you’re short on time, use store-bought spinach dip.
- Cut vegetables earlier in the day and store them in the refrigerator until ready to assemble.
- Swap the spinach dip for ranch dip, dill dip, or hummus for a different flavor.
- Add broccoli florets, snap peas, or bell pepper strips to bring in more color.
- If you don’t have a bread bowl, place the dip in a small serving bowl and build the face around it.
A few simple swaps can help adapt this to different tastes, and the design is flexible, so feel free to adjust ingredients while keeping the basic shape. The result is still a fun appetizer that looks impressive on the table.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! Most items can be prepped a few hours in advance. Assemble the bread bowl and vegetable features right before serving to keep them fresh. Adding the dip at the last minute also helps keep the bread bowl from getting soggy.
Spinach dip works well because its green color adds contrast and texture to the face. Ranch dip, White Bean Dip , or even Hummus are also good options depending on what flavors you prefer. Choose a thick dip so it holds the olive eyes and tomato nose in place.
A platter around 9×13 inches gives enough room to create the face and arrange the vegetables around it. Oval or rectangular platters both work well. The key is having enough space above the bread bowl to form the rabbit’s ears with the bread slices.

Ingredients
This cute veggie tray uses simple vegetables, bread, and a homemade dip to create a colorful snack tray. The ingredients are easy to find and can be adjusted based on preference. Each item plays a role in forming the face or surrounding snack options.
- Black olives – used for the eyes, mouth, and decorative filling between the ears.
- Grape tomatoes – add bright color and creates the nose.
- Carrots – cut into snack-size sticks for dipping and placed around the platter.
- Celery – forms both the whiskers and the crunchy dippers.
- Cucumber – sliced and arranged along the sides of the face.
- Baguette – sliced pieces create the rabbit ears and provide bread for dipping.
- Bread bowl – holds the spinach dip and forms the face.
- Spinach dip – the creamy base that completes the platter.
How to Make a Bunny Face Charcuterie Board
Peel and cut the carrots and celery into 3–4 inch pieces and slice the cucumber. Cut six very thin strips from one piece of celery for the whiskers.
Slice the top off the bread bowl and remove the inside bread while keeping the shell intact. Slice the baguette, saving the end pieces for the bunny ear tips.
Fill the bread bowl with spinach dip and place it near the bottom of the platter. Add a grape tomato in the center for the nose. Use olive halves for the eyes and sliced olives to form the mouth. Place the celery strips on each side of the tomato for whiskers.
Arrange baguette slices above the bowl to form the ears. Fill the remaining space with olives, tomatoes, cucumbers, celery, and carrots.
Add this festive veggie and dip tray to your spring table for an easy appetizer guests can snack on. If you’re planning a brunch check out these Brunch Charcuterie Boards for more ideas.
Easter Bunny Charcuterie Board
Equipment
- knife
Ingredients
- 6 ounces black olives
- 10 ounces grape tomatoes
- 4 medium carrots, peeled then halved or quartered. Cut into 3 – 4 inches pieces
- 4 stalks celery, halved and cut into 3 – 4 pieces
- 1 cucumbers, sliced (I like to leave the skin on)
- ½ loaf baguette, sliced and reserve 2 end pieces
- 1 bread bowl
- 1½ cups Spinach Dip Recipe (depending on the size of your bread bowl, you may need to adjust the amount of dip used)
Instructions
- Peel the carrots and cut them into 3–4 inch pieces. Cut the celery stalks in half and into 3–4 inch pieces, and slice the cucumber. From one celery piece, slice six very thin strips to use for the whiskers.
- Slice the top off the bread bowl and carefully remove the inside bread while keeping the outer shell intact. Slice the baguette, making sure to keep both end pieces to use for the tips of the bunny ears.
- Fill the bread bowl with spinach dip and place it near the bottom of your platter, leaving about two inches of space below it. Place a grape tomato in the center of the dip to create the rabbit’s nose.
- Cut two olives in half and place the halves with the round holes facing up above the tomato for the eyes. Slice another olive and arrange the pieces below and around the tomato to create the mouth, then place the celery whiskers on each side of the nose.
- Arrange the sliced baguette above the bread bowl to form the ears, using the end pieces for the ear tips. Fill the space between the ears with olives, place tomatoes on each side of the ears, then arrange the cucumbers, celery, and carrots around the rest of the platter.
