Instructions
Open all the ingredients and set them out in front of you. Ready a large plate or platter.
Thread the ingredients onto a skewer, ensuring you have variety on each. For example, one cherry tomato, slice of meat, olive, artichoke heart, and 1 or 2 basil leaves per stick.
Arrange each filled skewer around the edge of the plate or platter in the shape of a circle. If you run out of space, you can add a second layer.
When you have a wreath shape, add rosemary sprigs between the skewers.
Nestle the sliced figs on top of the skewers.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
The list of ingredients is a guide. You can use any finger foods that will fit on a 4-inch skewer.
We opted not to thread meat onto every skewer so that there is enough choice for vegetarians.
You can easily increase or decrease the amount of ingredients needed depending on how many servings you require.
This Antipasto Wreath can be prepared 2 hours in advance and should be kept refrigerated.
