Start with the vegetable platter: clean the cauliflower and broccoli and divide them into florets; Blanch them in lightly salted water for 5-10 minutes, then drain and immerse them in cold water and ice.
Separately, wash the cherry tomatoes, and peel the carrot, then cut it into sticks.
Arrange the cutting board on the work surface and compose your tree: I created a tree of broccoli tops (but you can also alternate with those of cauliflower, as if it were a festoon or snowy florets), I used pretzel sticks to create the trunk and use cauliflower as the base of the trunk (but you can also use some salad, for example rocket or songino).
Finally add the decorations: I used cherry tomatoes and carrots, but you can use walnuts, almonds, blueberries or whatever you prefer.
Proceed with the cutting board with grapes: first wash and dry the grapes and prepare the other ingredients; then assemble the tree, simply alternating the various elements: I put grapes, then rosemary, then salami and finally pecorino, and then repeated, concluding with grapes and finally with a beautiful star of anise, and with the pretzel trunk.
(If you prefer a vegetarian version, replace the salami with a different food, such as radicchio.)
Finally conclude with the platter of cold cuts and cheeses, always simply arranging everything in strips: I put croutons, salami, olives, walnuts and provolone and repeated 2 more times, concluding with a star of provolone and adding under the pretzels for the trunk.
The Christmas cutting boards are ready, you just have to serve them.
