tablespoon (30 ml) skim milk

- Secure broccoli and cauliflower florets, cherry tomatoes, baby carrots, etc. onto a
Styrofoam tree using toothpicks to hold the vegetables in place.
- Use a food processor fitted with metal blade, or a blender to combine all ingredients.
How much of the skim milk do you start with? Can't say simply "all ingredients" in any case,
because of Step 2.
- Process until smooth thinning with skim milk as desired. Refrigerate for up to 2 days.
