If you’re trying to limit your consumption this holiday season, this “tree appetizer” has just the right amount of “nosh” to enjoy before the main dish.
How to make a Christmas Tree Charcuterie Board
- On a rectangular board, start at the bottom with short bread sticks to make the trunk of the tree.
- Stuff peppadews with boursin cheese. Arrange the first bottom layer of the tree with the stuffed peppers.
- Next, lay down a row of sliced cucumber. In between the cucumbers and the peppadews, fold salami pieces in quarters and squeeze in between to make its own row.
- Fan out a layer of crackers above the cucumber slices.
- Form another row of cherry tomatoes above the crackers.
- Cut brie cheese into large chunks and stack above the cherry tomatoes to make a row.
- Slice salami and fan out above the brie cheese.
- Arrnage another cracker row above the salami slices.
- The top row add 3 more stuffed peppadews.
- At the very top, place a Walker shortbread “star” cookie for the tree topper!
Main dishes to serve for Christmas
By the way, what main dishes will you be enjoying this year? Here are a few of my favorites:
One thing I love this time of year is grafting new people into our lives. When you think about it, feasting together is a spiritual thing. Introducing people to other individuals (neighbors to neighbors), is a way to share the holiday spirit and love.
We need not hoard our friendships, but embrace them and share with others!
