Christmas Tree Pitas & Hummus are a hit with both kids and adults! Use green hummus or guacamole to turn your pitas into Christmas trees, and then decorate them with any chopped veggies you like. This is the tastiest way to rock around the Christmas tree!
How cute are these little Christmas Tree Pitas & Hummus?! This is one of the simplest Fun with Christmas Food options. All you need is some kind of green dip or spread! I've used Green Hummus, Cilantro Hummus with Jalapeno, Zucchini Hummus (no chickpeas in this one!), or even Guacamole for an easy Christmas tree base. Once you have a tree with a pretzel trunk, you can deck the halls! Use cut up bell pepper, tomatoes, carrots...any diced veggies you have in the kitchen. You could even use yellow bell peppers for a star on top! This is a really fun one for kids to help with because they can "decorate" their own trees.
This Christmas Tree Pitas & Hummus recipe is gluten-free, vegan (no dairy or eggs!), refined sugar-free, and soy-free. Check out the full Christmas Fun with Food post! It has wreaths, trees, reindeer, and snowmen, all created out of healthy ingredients and fun, festive touches.
