During the Christmas season, food plays a prominent role at family gatherings. Although the emphasis is often on traditional dishes rich in meat, it is important that vegetables also have a worthy place on the holiday menu. Experts from DélKertÉSZ (Southern Hungarian Gardeners’ Association) have collected creative ideas on how to make the holiday table more colorful and healthier with the help of vegetables.

By using vegetables creatively, we can surprise our loved ones with truly unique and memorable dishes. Experts from DélKertÉSZ have now come up with ideas that will allow vegetables to take their place not only as a supplement, but also as the main characters of the meal during the holiday season.

Creative vegetable decoration

In addition to the flavors of the dishes, we can also enchant guests with the appearance of the dishes. Decorations made from vegetables are both spectacular and tasty, so they fit perfectly into the holiday atmosphere. A colorful vegetable wreath or Christmas tree made of a variety of vegetables is not only eye-catching, but also a playful way to involve children in the festive preparations. These small but noticeable decorations will brighten up any table.

Vegetable appetizers

There is an endless supply of vegetable creams to make at Christmas. For example, a dip made of roasted peppers, eggplant or beetroot served with fresh vegetable cubes can be a great appetizer. And for those who prefer more special dishes, stuffed vegetables can be a great alternative. Smaller peppers and tomatoes filled with cream cheese, nuts or herbs can also be healthy additions to festive meals.
