- On a large rectangular serving platter, arrange the broccoli florets into the shape of a Christmas tree, starting with a wide base and gradually narrowing toward the top.
- Scatter the 1 pint of cherry tomatoes throughout the broccoli to resemble Christmas ornaments.
- Lay the yellow bell pepper strips diagonally across the broccoli tree to create a garland effect.
- Place the carrot rounds throughout the tree to add more colorful ornaments.
- Fill any empty spaces with the 1 cup of snap peas and the cauliflower florets to create a full, festive tree.
- Arrange the cucumber slices around the bottom of the tree to create a tree skirt.
- Place 1 slice of the star fruit at the top of the tree as the star topper.
- Serve immediately with ranch dressing or your favorite vegetable dip on the side.
Notes
If you can’t find star fruit, a yellow bell pepper or a slice of pineapple cut into a star shape also works well as a topper.
