How to Make this Christmas Tree Veggie Skewers Appetizer
- Gather up all of the star toothpicks you will be using. I like to weed out the ones I want to use because they aren’t all perfect.
- Next, add a tomato to the toothpick.
- Then, cut an english cucumber in half and make 1/8″ slices. Then create cutouts using the star cutter.
- Next, using your knife, cut a small piece of broccoli about the size of a quarter for the top piece and a slightly larger piece of broccoli for the bottom.
- Add the small piece on the toothpick, then add a piece of round cucumber. After that add the larger piece of broccoli.
- At the end, add a piece of cubed cheese about 1/2″ in size.
What Kind of Dip Goes Well with Christmas Tree Veggie Skewers?
Christmas tree veggie skewers are a fun and festive addition to any holiday gathering. But what kind of dip should you serve with them? The perfect solution is a creamy and tangy ranch dip!
