Yoda has lived for hundreds of years and seen several lifetimes’ worth of change. Most likely he’s stopped by Maz Kanata’s castle on more than one occasion for a respite so he’s familiar with the terrain of Takodana. If you didn’t think there was this much green in the whole galaxy, it’s time to step up your veggie game.
This vegetable terrarium can be made with any greens you have on hand, but different layers and textures definitely make for an enchanting presentation. Use this as an edible centerpiece for a dinner party or as a keen way to get your youngling to eat their veggies.
