Instructions
- Begin assembling the skewers. Start with a cube of cheddar cheese, add a folded piece of salami, an olive, a cherry tomato, a mozzarella ball. You can finish off with another piece of cheese or a fresh basil leaf for a pop of color.
- On a large round platter, arrange the rosemary sprigs in a circular shape to mimic the look of a wreath. Then, lay the skewers around the edge of the platter on top of the rosemary, creating a wreath effect. Adjust the skewers so they are evenly spaced and the platter looks full and abundant.
- Add any additional garnishes like shelled pistachios or drizzle with balsamic glaze if desired.
- Once your Antipasto Wreath is fully assembled, it's ready to be served! Place it on the table along with small plates and napkins for your guests.
