Festive food ideas

The end of the year is a time for celebrating! Try some of these tasty and delicious ideas with a festive twist:

Watermelon Christmas trees

  • slice watermelon into big rounds, then cut into the shape of a triangle, or ‘Christmas tree’.  Carefully cut away the skin from each side of the triangle to leave a green ‘trunk’. This will give kids something to hold onto while they eat!

Veggie wreath

  • lay green and red vegetables such as halved cherry tomatoes, capsicum, radishes, snow peas, green beans, celery or cucumber in a circle ‘wreath’ around a dip such as tzatziki.

Christmas gingerbread pikelets

Festive dips

  • make a platter with festive-coloured dips such as salsa, beetroot hummus, spinach dip or pesto.  Serve with vegie sticks, crackers and cheese. Families Tasmania dip recipes are delicious!

Festive fruit salad

  • combine green and red fruits such as berries, watermelon, grapes, kiwi fruit, pear or apple. Serve with a delicious pear dip.
