Ingredients

• 8 oz Refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
• 0.25 cup Sour cream
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 packet Ranch seasoning mix
• 1 cup Broccoli florets, finely chopped
• 0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 0.5 cup Cauliflower florets, finely chopped
• 0.25 cup Shredded carrots
• 0.25 cup Yellow bell pepper, diced
• 2 stalks Green onion, thinly sliced
• 1 piece Star-shaped cookie cutter (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Unroll the crescent roll dough and arrange it on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Form a large triangular shape to resemble a Christmas tree by overlapping edges and pinching seams to seal.

Step 3

Bake the crescent dough tree in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until it is golden brown and fully cooked. Once baked, let it cool completely before decorating.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, mix together softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, and ranch seasoning mix until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crescent dough tree, making sure to leave a slight border around the edges.

Step 6

Arrange the chopped vegetables (broccoli, cherry tomatoes, cauliflower, shredded carrots, yellow bell pepper, and green onion) on top of the cream cheese layer to resemble Christmas tree decorations. Get creative with the placement for a vibrant, festive look!

Step 7

Optional: Use the star-shaped cookie cutter to cut a star out of a bell pepper slice and place it at the top of the tree as a decorative centerpiece.

Step 8

Refrigerate the assembled veggie tree appetizer for at least 15 minutes to allow the spread to set.

Step 9

Carefully transfer the crescent veggie tree to a serving platter, slice, and enjoy this colorful, crowd-pleasing appetizer!
