Crudite Christmas Tree

Thank you. My mom used to make something similar, but hers was constructed on a bed of cauliflower. I couldn't find any suitable looking cauliflower in the store, so I substituted coleslaw. I also added the yellow bell pepper garlands, star and trunk. To get the trunk to look more like wood, I scored a wedge of pepper with a fork and soaked it in soy sauce. I also sliced the cherry tomatoes - she left them whole.
 

At first it seemed people were reluctant to spoil it, but once someone took some, they really dug in. I also nuked the broccoli so it wouldn't have a strong raw taste and would be a bit softer for those people that might have a problem wity chewing tough food.
