Christmas antipasto wreath – holiday appetizer idea

Scorrere verso il basso

If you are looking for an idea for an easy but effective appetizer for Christmas or New Year’s Eve dinner, I have just what you need: antipasto wreath! This wreath is super easy to assemble and amazes with a selection of delicious cheeses, fresh and dried fruit, sauces and appetizers. As you can see it is a sort of cheese platter for a lacto-vegetarian but if you are a lover of the classic appetizer you can fill it with cold cuts of your preference. It is a dish full of finger foods that are easy to find, during the winter time, in your fridge so it perfect to act as a quick and simple to prepare centerpiece.

Instructions Christmas antipasto wreath – holiday appetizer idea

  • Take a flat plate large enough to hold all your ingredients. Start by taking some rosemary twigs and tie the tips together with a some thread to create a very simple garland. By doing this you make sure that this green frame will hold all the ingredients and it will remain stable.
  • Proceed by first adding small saucers or bowls with dried fruit. Place them scattered inside the wreath to create points of support. Also remember to add a small container with toothpicks.
  • Begin adding various finger foods, pieces of bread and crackers by placing them both next to the bowls and on the garland.
  • Now fill in the empty spaces gradually by adding fresh fruit and vegetables. Add the pieces of various cheeses both rolled and cubed. Fill the plate in a circular way trying to keep balance between colors and shapes. Finish your dish by adding small sprigs of rosemary in the center of the wreath.
