Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Slice the cured meats into bite-sized pieces and cut the cheeses into wedges or cubes. Wash the vegetables and drain any excess liquid from marinated items.
Pre-Cooking or Special Preparation
- Roast vegetables, like bell peppers, to enhance their sweetness and texture. If using fresh vegetables, lightly toss them in olive oil, salt, and herbs for added flavor.
Mixing and Assembling
- Assemble the wreath on a large, round platter or a wooden board, starting with a circular base made of cheese roundels or clusters of olives.
- Alternate layers of meats, cheeses, and vegetables to form a wreath shape, filling gaps with nuts and smaller treats like cherry tomatoes.
Cooking and Finishing
- Drizzle olive oil and balsamic glaze over the top layer and garnish with fresh herbs scattered artfully across the board.
Notes
You can prepare the ingredients a day in advance but assemble the board closer to serving time. Served with breadsticks, crackers, or baguette slices for guests to enjoy alongside.
