02 - 2 cups green olives, pitted

03 - 3 large kiwis, peeled and sliced into rounds

# Directions:

01 - Arrange the green grapes, green olives, and kiwi slices in alternating layers on the board, forming a large triangle that mimics a Christmas tree. Begin with the widest layer at the base and work upward.

02 - Insert rosemary sprigs between the layers to create the appearance of pine needles.

03 - Scatter cherry tomatoes, red grapes, mozzarella balls, and pomegranate seeds over the tree to resemble colorful ornaments.

04 - Position yellow bell pepper stars at the top of the tree and optionally along the sides for festive detail.

05 - Serve immediately, accompanied by crackers or sliced baguette on the side.
