Wow your guests this year with these delicious Christmas Tree Appetizers with creamy feta and crunchy cucumber.
To make them, cut out the center of the cucumber slices and fill them with cubes of feta. Season well, and arrange in a tree shape on a chopping board or platter.
Nothing is wasted, as the cucumber cutouts are reused as little presents to go under the tree. If you are short on time, make a few bites and place them on a cocktail stick with basil. Yum.
