Antipasto Holiday Wreath Appetizer

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Instructions

1. On a large serving platter or wooden cheese board, layer half of the herbs in a full circle with the green sprigs leafing outward to the edges and the stems underneath the leafy parts to create the outline of the ring. Save a few sprigs to intersect between the antipasto ingredients after plating them to bring the greens to the forefront. This will make the wreath look more authentic.

2. Place the green olives randomly on the herbs, then nestle in black olives, sliced salamis, and the red peppers, alternating side to side for a natural flow in the display. Add the almonds in groups of 2-3 to add variety to the wreath's shape. Tuck the artichoke hearts and mushrooms randomly about in groups. Save a few herb sprigs to intersect between the antipasto ingredients after plating to bring the greens to the forefront and make the wreath look more authentic. Set the cheeses, extra salami slices and any other ingredients off to the sides with crackers or breadsticks for serving.
