Christmas Tree Crudités

Pinterest has been supplying me with fun food ideas this time of year!

We had a small holiday gathering this past weekend and I wanted to make my vegetable platter a little more festive and it think this tree-shaped arrangment does the job!

For the tree, I used baby carrots, zucchini, broccoli and celery. For the 'garland' I used sliced red and yellow peppers and used a small piece of the yellow pepper for the tree topper. I reserved a small piece of the zucchini for the stump.

There really wasn't any 'plan' in mind when I started to assemble the vegetables. I trimmed the broccoli to florets and then cut the zucchini and celery to about and an inch and a half and then started arranging in a tree and it just all came together! Don't forget the dip!!
