Christmas Wreath Charcuterie Board
We actually love this board any time of year. It’s simple enough, and you can change the herbs out per season (ie, basil for summer, thyme for fall, rosemary for winter).
Why we love a Christmas charcuterie
Add in some rosemary sprigs for a touch of greenery, and you have a beautiful appetizer plate that will impress your guests!
We love our Big Boards, and this 20-inch is perfect for holiday charcuterie ideas!
Kids LOVE a quick little nibble (but big kids do, too!)
Ingredients to make a wreath
- Salami (that you can fold into quarters)
- Sliced prosciutto (bunched up to make a flower)
- Jack cheese sticks cut into cubes
- Cheddar cheese sticks cut into cubes
- Colby Jack cheese sticks cut into cubes
- Black olives
- Green olives
- Cherry tomatoes
- Fresh rosemary (a LOT)
How to make a Christmas Wreath Charcuterie Board
- Start with a 20 inch round board.
- Divide all ingredients in half. Assemble board as pictured, placing each ingredient across from the same ingredient. Start with meat, then cheese.
- Place rosemary springs, olives, and cherry tomatoes on last. Then repeat to make a whole wreath.
Tips and substitutions:
- This is a simple board, so you don’t need any bowls. Cut everything the same bite size, so it looks uniform.
- A board with a lip works the best (so the food stays on the board).
- Repeat the patterns throughout the wreath, for example, laying down cheese, then meat, then cheese.
- Aim for 2-3 types of cheeses (try soft, hard, and flavored cheeses) and 2-3 types of meats, several types of fresh or dried fruit, and a few crunchy items if you prefer.
- You can add a touch of chocolate, and crackers or cookies.
- TIP: If you are using a square board and are struggling to keep the round shape, you can trace a circle on a piece of parchment paper and place that on top of your board to use as an outline.
- Make it vegetarian. Think about adding another vegetable, if you prefer to not add salami, like cucumbers or peppers, some soft bread like mini naans, or even marinated vegetables like artichokes.
- Make a dip. Instead of the balsamic drizzle, think about adding a dip in the middle of the charcuterie wreath with the balsamic glaze, for spooning and serving individually. You can also make a dip like our Greek Yogurt Ranch Dip.
