Veggie Wreath

If you want to make a healthier, kid-friendly, veggie and cheese wreath, here's another idea! I saw something similar on Pinterest. These edible wreaths are so incredibly easy to make and so darling. For this broccoli version, simply place broccoli florets around the perimeter of a plate or round cheese board (this one is from World Market). Top with pomegranate arils, blackberries, and cheese star cut-outs like I did, or  use whatever veggies you have on hand. Cherry tomatoes would be wonderful too. For a non-dairy vegan version, use your star cookie/veggie cutter to cut stars out of jicama. Serve a bowl of your favorite dressing or hummus with this broccoli veggie wreath.
