How To Make The Christmas Charcuterie Wreath (Full Printable Recipe Down Below!)

Cut the cheese into cubes. Fold the salami in half, then in half again. Add the salami onto a skewer. You will then add three other ingredients: an olive or a tomato, a cube of cheese, and another olive or tomato. 

Cut each sprig of rosemary in half.

Arrange the rosemary on the edges of the plate.

Arrange the skewers on the plate, alternating the salami towards the edge and the inside.

How To Store This Easy Christmas Charcuterie Wreath

Charcuterie Wreaths are best served the same day they are made. However, you can make this a day ahead and store it tightly wrapped in plastic wrap in the refrigerator. Remove from the fridge 30 minutes before serving. 

Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for a day or two if they’re tightly wrapped. Do not freeze.

Crackers & Breads

• Assorted artisan crackers (rosemary, sea salt, whole grain)

• Crostini or toasted baguette slices

• Breadsticks or pretzel crisps for crunch

• Soft herb focaccia or mini rolls for a cozy touch

Dips & Spreads

• • Honey or fig jam (pairs beautifully with cheese)

Fruits & Nuts
