Step 1

Assemble all the antipasto skewers. Lay out all ingredients in front of you, then prepare the skewers. We like each skewer to have at least 1 fresh leaf of basil, 1 cheese, and 2 cured meats. If a piece of basil is too large, cut it in ½ or ⅓ so it's comparable in size to the other ingredients. Fill the rest of the skewer with veggies and olives! Continue assembling skewers until all ingredients are used.

Step 2

Grab a round serving board or tray. If it's not safe for olive oil (such as marble or other sensitive material), place a layer of parchment paper down first. Place the skewers on the board in a single layer forming a circle, leaving a whole in the center large enough for a small bowl.

Step 3

Pile another layer of skewers on top, forming a beautiful holiday wreath! When you're finished assembling the antipasto board, throw any leftover ingredients into a tiny bowl, then place in the center of the wreath with a few extra toothpicks or skewers on the side.

Step 4

Serve immediately or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until needed. Allow antipasto to come to room temperature before serving.
