    How to make a Christmas veggie tray

    Now I’ll walk you through making a Christmas vegetable tray in the shape of a wreath.

    Infographic demonstrating how to make a Christmas veggie tray for holiday party appetizers
    1. Set out a 10-12” round plate, serving platter, cheese board, or cutting board. Add blue cheese dip (or ranch dressing) to a dipping bowl and place it in the center of the vegetable platter. Sprinkle dip with fresh chopped cilantro. 
    2. Add kale around the plate in the shape of a wreath. You may want to tear away some of the kale to help make the shape and reduce the volume in the center of the tray. (I removed most of the inner kale leaves in the video demonstration.)
    3. Add vegetable sticks to the platter, forming the shape of a wreath around the dip bowl. (I started with the green vegetables – two sections for celery and one section for cucumbers – spacing them around the board in the shape of a triangle. Then I added in the remaining colorful vegetables – the red pepper, yellow pepper, and carrots.)
    4. Add final touches. First, add pieces of rosemary sprigs in between different vegetables, at the base of the dip bowl. Then add some fresh cranberries and holiday candies around the wreath. Add a spoon to the dip bowl if desired and chill until serving.
    5. Perfectionists: at this time, you can go around the wreath and tap in the vegetables on the outside to make a perfect circle shape. Also, make sure kale is poking out of the wreath, around the outside, so it has that ultimate Christmas holiday party appetizer feel. Enjoy!

    FAQs

    What dip goes with vegetable platters?

    The best dips for veggie trays are easy for people to enjoy, without dripping or making a mess. Try a thicker vegetable dip like blue cheese, ranch, onion dip, or even hummus.Demonstrating dip in center of vegetable tray for Christmas themed party.

    What other Christmas veggie tray ideas can I make?

    Try arranging your vegetables in the shape of a Santa face, snowman, or Christmas tree. I’ll be sharing more veggie tray ideas for Christmas parties and holiday events soon.

    Can I add meat and cheese?

    Yes, I’d use a larger round serving platter to change this from a vegan or vegetable charcuterie board to a larger one with meat and cheese.

    Hey, I’m Jenna Passaro.

    I develop easy recipes that can transform your kitchen into a restaurant – and you into a true home chef.

      

    Where to start?

    Learn the secrets to smoking tasty Traeger recipes and making pizza at home. And cook amazing tri tip steak dinners.

    Or, fall in love with something new to cook with your air fryer, pellet smoker, BBQ grill, sous vide cooker, and more…

    You’ll notice, I kind of geek out over new cooking trends and tools!

    My story. Growing up, I didn’t learn to cook.

    (I was actually banned from cooking for years)

    And then in my 20’s I didn’t have to cook because my job as an event planner involved a lot of travel and it was easier to eat out. At the time, I was 100% positive that restaurant food would always taste better than cooking at home, and there was nothing I could do about it.

    Until I fell in love with a chef. He would come over and cook me delicious meals right in my own kitchen. My mind was blown.

    Since then, I’ve been on a mission to figure out easy ways to make restaurant style food at home and share it here on Sip Bite Go.

    Love to eat out and travel? I can totally relate. See my guide on where to eat in Portland, OR.

    Never in a million years did I imagine I’d ditch the 9-5 lifestyle in my late 20’s, move across the country on a whim, start a new life, start a food blog, and write a book.

    But here I am!
