Simplified Grazing Board Wreath

Featured in: Sweet & Salty Snacks

Create a stunning circular display by arranging cheeses, charcuterie, crackers, and fresh produce on a round board. Start with rosemary sprigs layered to form a wreath base, then space cheeses evenly around the circle. Add folded charcuterie slices for texture and fill remaining gaps with crackers, baguette, grapes, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper strips, olives, and baby carrots. Finish by sprinkling dried cranberries and mixed nuts. Adjust for balance and serve immediately for a festive, easy-to-assemble presentation ideal for entertaining.

Vegetarian options can substitute charcuterie with marinated vegetables or extra cheeses. For dietary needs, gluten-free crackers can be used. Pair this vibrant display with sparkling wine or crisp white for an elegant touch.
