Ingredients

Scale

You’ll need:

  • 12 heads of broccoli
  • A pint of cherry tomatoes
  • 1 head of cauliflower
  • Your favorite dip (maybe reduced-fat Ranch or Honey Mustard).

Instructions

  1. Wash and drain all the vegetables and cut the tops of the broccoli and cauliflower into flowerettes.
  2. On a festive serving tray, arrange the broccoli in the shape of a Christmas tree.
  3. Then decorate the tree with cherry tomato “ornaments” and put a layer of cauliflower “snow” under the tree. You can even top the tree with a slice of star fruit.

Notes

This broccoli tree looks great on a holiday buffet table. (Note: You could also make a Christmas “wreath” shape with the broccoli and use cherry tomatoes as “holly berries.” Place the dip in a dish in the middle of the wreath.)
