VEGETABLE CHRISTMAS TREE APPETIZER

This is a great recipe for a great presentation for the Christmas. It makes it easy to serve vegetables and dip in a festive way. I use pretzel sticks to make the tree trunk for its authentic bark-like color. Serve as stated or if you choose fill all around the tree with cauliflower and put the ranch dip in a separate dish if you need to refill or keep cold. Definitely a great addition to a Christmas buffet or dinner. Originally from Flo Burtnett in OK, the recipe has a big wow factor. (see my photo) Enjoy! ChefDLH

Steps:

  • Fill a Christmas tree shaped tray or pan with broccoli florets. The broccoli should be cut to the depth of the pan. Once the pan is full, prop the broccoli up to make it appear that the "tree" is lush and green.
  • Insert baby carrots into the broccoli so that just the tips show. These are the ornaments on the tree.
  • Insert cherry tomatoes for more "ornaments".
  • Place a small bowl (star-shaped?) at the top of the pan filled with Ranch dressing.
