Ingredients
- 2 fresh raw pounds broccoli
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 yellow pepper
- 1 red pepper
- 1/4 cup pretzel sticks
Instructions
- Cut the broccoli into small florets, making sure not to leave the stem too long or it will have a hard time standing up. Cut the tops and bottoms off your peppers and remove the seeds, thinly slice the peppers.
- On your serve platter arrange the broccoli in a long triangle to be the body of the tree. I found it easy to start with my largest florets to build the base then I started tucking the smaller piece to help build the shape.
- Arrange the tomatoes all over the top of the broccoli to look like little lights.
- Lay out four strips of the yellow pepper on the top of the tree for the star.
- Place the strips of yellow pepper on the tree in a zig zag pattern to be the lights.
- Lay the red pepper at the bottom to be the tree skirt. Place the pretzels at the bottom of the tree to be the base of the tree.
