Nostalgic and easy - two of our favorite things in a holiday appetizer.
Notes from the LHTC Team:
We love how simple this appetizer is. Many of us have seen or had an antipasto appetizer before, but the wreath shape is an extra festive touch on a classic. And it's hard to go wrong with salami and balls of cheese, just sayin'. You could go the extra mile by brushing with a little extra virgin olive oil and a crack of black pepper at the end too.
