Total Time 25 minutes
Servings: 15 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups broccoli florets cut into small pieces
  • 2 cups sugar snap peas
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1 yellow bell pepper sliced into star shapes
  • 1 red bell pepper cut into strips
  • 1 cup baby carrots
  • 1 cup cauliflower florets
  • 1 1/2 cups ranch dip or your favorite vegetable dip
  • 1 small bowl for the tree trunk
  • Fresh rosemary sprigs for garnish

Method
 

  1. Start by arranging your serving platter or large cutting board in a vertical position to create your tree shape.
  2. Place a small bowl of ranch dip at the bottom center of the platter to serve as the tree trunk.
  3. Begin creating the tree shape by arranging the broccoli florets in rows, starting from the bottom and working up in a triangular Christmas tree shape.
  4. Fill in any gaps with sugar snap peas, positioning them between the broccoli to add texture and variety.
  5. Create garland effects by strategically placing the cherry tomatoes throughout the tree in a diagonal or zigzag pattern.
  6. Add the red bell pepper strips as ribbon or tinsel decoration, draping them across the tree.
  7. Use the yellow bell pepper star shapes as ornaments scattered throughout the tree, saving one for the very top as your tree topper.
  8. Arrange baby carrots and cauliflower florets around the base of the tree to create a snowy ground effect.
  9. Tuck small rosemary sprigs into the broccoli here and there for extra greenery and a lovely fresh scent.
  10. Serve immediately or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 4 hours before your party.
