Festive Holiday Vegetable Wreath:
With Thanksgiving over just moments ago, we have to be fully committed to the holiday season, there's no way around it now.
Now all the Christmas parties begin. And what do you bring to all those parties?
How about something besides cookies and carbs?!?
How about a veggie and cheese plate? But not any veggie and cheese plate…..

It’s so easy to put together. I put this one together in under 2 minutes.
If you want the balsamic drizzle, which I highly recommend, then you could be done in a few extra minutes of prep time!
It’s seriously the easiest app you could put together and one of the prettiest throughout the holiday season!
Holiday olive wreath ingredients:

How to Make the Balsamic Reduction for your veggie wreath:
So how about that balsamic reduction drizzle I mentioned?
Here's what ya do:
- Place your balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Heat the vinegar until it starts to simmer.
- Allow to simmer until the vinegar reduces by about ⅓ to ½.
- Remove from heat right away and it will thicken quickly. Drizzle over your holiday olive wreath and enjoy!
