Ingredients

Your favorite sliced lunch meats we used turkey, ham, salami, and pepperoni
Mozzarella Pearls
You favorite cheeses cut into cubes
Green Olives pitted
Black Olives
Marinated Artichoke Hearts
Mini Pickles
Mini Sweet Pepper Rings
Jalapenos
Pearl onions
Cucumbers
Cherry Tomatoes
Rosemary for garnish
Arugula for garnish
Cranberries for garnish
Large Toothpicks - We used the 6 inch variety
Guacamole for dipping

Instructions

Simply skewer the ingredients onto the large toothpicks. I like to rotate colors of the ingredients on each stick because it makes for the prettiest antipasto wreath. Pro Tip: Don't make each stick exactly the same, it looks prettier when it's arranged and will give your guests variety and have them coming back for more.
After all your antipasto skewers are made, either store them in the refrigerator until ready for use or start assembling the wreath.
I made one layer and then put some arugula down in-between the skewers to add to the wreath-affect.
Then add a layer on top of that one, placing a skewer in-between each one from the first layer.
Then add another another layer of charcuterie skewers.
Scatter cranberries around for that festive pop of red and don't forget the rosemary! The rosemary really gives you that wreath-like feel.

Notes

I left my skewers in the refrigerator until I was ready to assemble my charcuterie wreath.
I liked having three layers because it gave the wreath dimension and it allows for people to grab off two layers and you are still left with a gorgeous Christmas Charcuterie Wreath.
