½ cup baby carrots
1 cup multigrain bagel thins
1 cup dried apricots
Spoon cottage cheese into a small bowl in the center of a large circular tray.
Arrange apple slices in a circle around the cottage cheese, with the skin sides facing the same direction to create a slightly spiraled design. Alternate granny smith and macintosh slices to create an alternating color pinwheel
Place a baby carrot between each apple slice, facing outward like the rays of simple sun.
Arrange the apricots and bagel thins around the outside rim of the tray, alternating bagel thin and apricot.
