This dip is wonderfully tasty and super easy at the same time! We served it last year on Christmas Day at a get-together at my family’s house here in Santa Barbara. People really seemed to enjoy it! The great thing about it is that it literally took me five minutes to put together and it ends up looking so festive!!
Ingredients:
1 block of cream cheese (we used Reduced Fat)
¼ – ½ cup fresh pesto (we buy it premade at the grocery store)
¼ of a red bell pepper, cut into small cubes (see picture) for ornaments
2 inches of a pretzel rod (to serve as the tree trunk)
Crackers
Directions:
1. Cut cream in half diagonally so that you have two triangles. Then fit them together so that they create one large triangle (the shape of a tree).
2. Top cream cheese with fresh pesto. Then decorate with bell pepper ornaments.
3. Add tree trunk/pretzel.
Serve with crackers! Yummm.
See! Wasn’t that easy!
