Choose a large, flat, wooden cutting board to create your wreath on. A round board will be easiest, but you can use a rectangle as well.
Take a look at your ingredients, then make a mental note of where each should go. For this wreath design, you’ll want to be sure that there is a good mix of colors and that the items are alternating in some way.
Start by putting the 4 different types of cheeses down, one in each corner of the wreath.
Add the olives, tomatoes, and grapes: Again, keep in mind the arrangement as you place piles of each ingredient down.
Add the Meat Last. We do this because we want to arrange the pepperoni and salami in nice fluffy arrangements, and the other ingredients will help keep the meat upright. You can turn the sliced meats into rosettes (see notes to learn how to make them) or simply fold each piece in half and then in half again and stick them in between the other ingredients.
Gently move around any ingredients that aren’t where they should be, and make sure that your wreath is round. Then take your greenery and decorate around the outside and inside of the circle. Serve your charcuterie with sides of crackers or chips.
