Equipment

  • 1 large round board
  • skewers

Ingredients

  • 1 bunch Green leaf lettuce for the wreath base
  • 8-10 pieces Marinated artichokes
  • 1 cup Kalamata olives pitted
  • 1 cup Green olives pitted
  • 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
  • 20 pieces Smoked turkey bites
  • 1 cup Pearl mozzarella balls
  • 10 pieces Basturma or salami slices
  • Fresh rosemary and dill for ganrish

Instructions

  • Lay down the green leaf lettuce to create a natural-looking wreath base. Remove the bottom stems from each leaf, so they lay flat against the board, providing a clean, leafy circle around the edge.
  • On each skewer, alternate ingredients like marinated artichokes, cherry tomatoes, smoked turkey bites, olives, and mozzarella balls. Randomly vary the order on each skewer to keep it visually interesting and encourage guests to try different combinations.
  • Place the skewers around the board in a circular wreath shape. Let the ends of the skewers slightly overlap, creating a full, lush look.
  • Add Fresh Herbs and Garnishes

Notes

Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh herbs like rosemary and dill are essential for both the look and aroma of the wreath.
Mix Up the Flavors: Choose ingredients with a balance of flavors—savory meats, tangy olives, and creamy cheese.
Play with Texture: The combination of soft mozzarella, crunchy pickles, and tender meats makes each bite exciting.
Add Seasonal Touches: Fresh cranberries or pomegranate seeds can add festive color and a hint of sweetness.
