Ingredients
- 1 radish red
- 1 lice ham
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients. You will need a toothpick.
- Cut the red radish to create 2 center parts for the ham flowers.
- Cut the ham in half, and then fold each piece in half.
- Make small inserts every ⅛ inch (3 mm) along the folded edge with a knife.
- Flip over to other side and fold in half. This way, the “petals” will look more fluffy.
- Place the red radish at the end of ham and start rolling using the radish as a core.
- When the ham is all rolled up, use a toothpick to secure ends. Repeat for the other ham.
- Put it in your lunch box.
