Directions
Healthy Food Christmas Tree, for Any Time of Year !, I was looking for inspiration for a veggie tray and saw a photo on the Net that got me thinking From there I devised my own variation and here it is 🙂 Use any cheeses that can be cut into blocks (preferably of different colours for contrast) For instance, used Westfriese kruidenkaas(a herb cheese), Cantenaar(a yellow mature cheese) and a mild white goats cheese All measurements are approximate because it depends entirely on how many you are serving and how large you make your tree Serve with a pot of toothpicks so that your guest can select their pieces of choice Excellently healthy for a party crowd and great addition for those of us trying to make our nibbles a little healthier , There was no veggies at this party Glad I made it Thanks for the suggestion!, I cut part of the yellow pepper into a star
