  The secret of this dish is the presentation.  Using a     
  round tray keeps people from perceiving the wreath        
  motif; what other arrangement could you use on a round    
  tray?  A square tray shows off the wreath. Serving the    
  accompanying dip in the center hole will also mask the    
  wreath appearance; set it to one side.                    
                                                            
  Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets and blanch       
  briefly in boiling water to bring out the bright green    
  color.  If you have a special cooking pencil, stencil     
  circles for the inside & outside wreath edges on the      
  tray. Arrange florets around the outside edge so the      
  stems are pointing toward the center of the ring,         
  being careful to maintain an even edge. Next, arrange     
  florets around the inside edge with stems pointing        
  toward the outside of the ring.  Arrange sufficient       
  florets in between the two broccoli circles, stems        
  down, to complete the wreath.                             
                                                            
  Arrange clusters of 2-3 cherry tomatoes in various        
  places around the wreath to represent holly berries.
