Ingredients
- 4 ounces cheddar cheese
- 4 ounces gouda cheese
- 2 cups red grapes
- 2 cups green grapes
- 1/2 pomegranate seeds
- 1/4 pecans
- arugula leaves
Instructions
- First cut the cheese into bite sized pieces and set aside. Wash the grapes and give them a good shake to remove excess water.
- Lay out a tray or any kind of flat surface that you are planning to make your tree on. I used a 12 x 10 inch (32 x 25 cm) tray. Start at the bottom and work your way up alternating cheese and grape layers. I made two layers of grapes and three layers of the cheese.
- You may have to play with the the shape a little to get the desired shape of you tree. Once you have the shape you like, you can decorate and finish the tree.
- Scatter the pomegranates around the tree and tuck in the arugula leaves. Make a trunk using the pecans. I used a cookie cutter to make a star shape out of sliced cheese.
- This can be served immediately or covered in the fridge up to 24 hours before serving.
