Ingredients

For the Skewers

8 oz Salami Adds savory flavor and a traditional touch; substitute with prosciutto or pepperoni for a varied taste.
8 oz Mozzarella Pearls Provide mild creaminess; swap with small cheese cubes like feta or cheddar if desired.
8 oz Fontina Offers a rich, nutty flavor; Gruyère or Havarti work as great alternatives.
8 oz Dill Havarti Adds a distinct flavor and creamy texture; plain Havarti is a milder option.
1 cup Green Olives Introduces a briny element; consider black olives for an alternative flavor.
1 cup Black Olives Complements the green olives with additional taste dimensions.
1 cup Marinated Artichokes Brings tanginess and depth; pickled vegetables can replace them if needed.
1 cup Roasted Red Peppers Adds both sweetness and vibrant color; fresh peppers may also be grilled.

Method

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Festive Christmas Charcuterie Wreath

Begin by gathering all antipasto ingredients, such as salami, cheeses, olives, and artichokes. Wash and dry your tomatoes, and slice or cube the cheeses as needed. Ensure everything is bite-sized for easy skewer assembly.
Take large toothpicks or skewers, and start skewering the ingredients onto them. Aim for a visually appealing arrangement with a variety of colors and textures on each skewer.
Once all skewers are assembled, create the wreath by arranging skewers in a circle on a large platter, overlapping them slightly.
Tuck fresh rosemary sprigs in and around the skewers for aroma and visual appeal.
Sprinkle micro greens over the top for an earthy finish. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
When ready to serve, place the charcuterie wreath on the dining table or serving station.
