Step 1:

Prepare the ingredients: wash the vegetables and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Step 2:

Cut the feta or soft cheese into half-round slices. Cut the ham or smoked meat into long, thin sticks. Cut a piece of cucumber with the peel into the same kind of sticks.
Step 3:

Make four cuts in the tomato in a square pattern and tuck slices of cheese into them — this will be the bottom layer of "rose petals" (see photo).
Step 4:

Now make four more cuts just above the lower petals and tuck a slice of cheese or feta into each of those as well.
Step 5:

In the top of the tomato — in the square — make several deep punctures and stick in "pistils and stamens" made from cucumber and ham.
Step 6:

Arrange the finished tomato "roses" on a platter and garnish with "leaves" cut from cucumber and sprigs of dill. Season the appetizer of tomatoes, cheese, ham and cucumber with salt and pepper, drizzle lightly with olive oil, and serve your "bouquet of roses." Bon appétit! Happy Women's Day!
