If you want to turn heads at your Christmas party, this towering, edible Christmas relish tree is just the ticket. Straight from the pages of our holiday issue way back in 1984, this tree is part crafting project, part vintage recipe.
You start by wrapping a styrofoam cone with kale, then you add crudité “ornaments” on picks, such as cauliflower, cherry tomatoes, and even radish roses. We added a twist that our 1984 counterparts did not, but we think you’ll approve of the peeled cooked shrimp tucked in here and there amongst the greenery.
Surrounded by a moat of Chunky Onion Dip, this Christmas appetizer is extremely 1980s and bodaciously tasty.
