Creating your Christmas Tree Veggie Tray can be fun and easy! Just follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Base: Start by using a large cutting board or a serving platter as your base for the veggie tray.
2. Cut the Vegetables: Slice the cucumber into rounds for the tree trunk. Set aside.
3. Create the Tree Shape: Arrange the cauliflower florets in a triangular shape on the platter. This will be the bulk of your “tree.”
4. Add The Layers: Place the baby carrots, starting from the bottom, to create the first layer of your tree.
5. Incorporate Other Vegetables: Next, add the broccoli florets around the cauliflower, filling in the tree shape.
6. Decorate with Bell Peppers: Cut the bell pepper into strips and arrange them across the tree.
7. Add Cherry Tomatoes: Position the cherry tomatoes around the tree, acting as ornaments.
8. Sprinkle Almonds or Crackers: Place the almonds or crackers in different areas of the tree to add extra decoration.
9. Attach the Parsley: Finally, add sprigs of parsley around the base of the tree for added greenery.
10. Add Dip: Place a small bowl of your chosen dip at the base of the tree to complete the presentation.

With these steps, you’ll have a stunning Christmas Tree Veggie Tray ready for your guests to enjoy!
