A holiday wreath vegetable tray is just as it sounds – a plate of vegetables arranged to look like a Christmas wreath. It’s healthier than a plate of cookies and much easier to make! You can buy pre-cut veggies, or cut them up ahead of time so all you have to do is assemble.
I kept this wreath simple with broccoli, cauliflower, and cherry tomatoes. You can follow this recipe exactly, or use it as a guideline for your own creation. Snap peas, asparagus, cucumbers, celery, and sweet peppers make great additions to a Christmas vegetable wreath. The most important thing is to make a decorative pattern with the vegetables.
Why You Need This Recipe
- Put it together in less than 20 minutes.
- Use your favorite dip.
- It’s perfect for parties or gatherings.
- You can customize it to fit your dietary needs.
Key Ingredients
Hummus or dip – Hummus is a great option because it’s universally adored, but any veggie dip works great. For a vegan or dairy-free wreath, use a vegan dip. It’s easy to change the dip to fit a dietary preference or need. You can make your homemade oil-free hummus or cashew hummus ahead of time.
Broccoli – To cut down on prep time, you can buy pre-cut florets. Or you can buy a head of broccoli and cut it up ahead of time. This way all you have to do is assemble come party time.
Cauliflower – Cauliflower can also be found pre-cut in the produce area. The contrast of the green and white in the vegetable wreath makes it pop!
Cherry tomatoes – It wouldn’t be a Christmas wreath without a pop of red. Place the cherry tomatoes in clusters to mimic red berries or flowers.
Recipe Steps
Step One
Place a bowl of dip in the center of a large, 9-inch glass pie dish or plate.
Please see the recipe card at the end of this post for the exact ingredients and measurements.

Step Three
Next, nestle in the cauliflower and cherry tomatoes to dress up the wreath!

Recipe Tips & Substitutions
- The nutrition label for this recipe does not include the dip.
- If you want to make this ahead of time, get all of the vegetable ready. Store them in a ziptop bag in the refrigerator. Assemble the wreath just before serving to ensure that the vegetables stay crisp.
- To make a larger wreath, use an extra-large plate and purchase extra vegetables.
- For extra protein, buy fresh mozzarella pearls and use them to decorate the wreath. Mozzarella is not appropriate for vegan or dairy-free diets, so just make adaptations wherever necessary.
FAQs
Hummus, ranch, green goddess, tzatziki, white bean dip, baba ganoush, or a Greek yogurt-based dip would all work great! You can choose dairy-free options if necessary.
It’s best to assemble the wreath right before serving. This ensures the vegetables stay crisp and fresh. If you want to plan ahead, cut up all your veggies and place them in ziptop bags. This way all you have to worry about is assembly.
