Ladies of the internet, here’s how to craft your very own charcuterie wreath! With many spending the holidays at home this year, it’s essential to echo Dorinda Medley’s advice and ‘Make it nice.’ Charcuterie has become a culinary sensation, evolving from cozy chalets to a creative twist on classic holiday decor. Introducing…the charcutewreath!
To create your edible masterpiece, gather your favorite carbs, cheeses, and bite-sized treats. The hashtag #CharcuterieWreath is trending on Instagram, showcasing countless delightful variations. We’ve gathered a selection of the most appetizing images along with tips to enhance your wreath for both taste and visual appeal.
Instagram account @herbivorehaven crafted whimsical flowers and mini trees from their meats; @tastytable incorporated nuts and vibrant flowers; @cheesetable added rustic pinecones and sweetened grapes; while @delightfulbites featured a charming pot of honey and tangy cornichons. This tasty decoration marries the essence of a traditional wreath with the joy of a charcuterie spread, leaving a perfect center space for dips, veggies, crackers, and more.
This new charcuterie trend is tailor-made for social media, possibly even more photogenic than Sandra Bullock in Miss Congeniality. Travel enthusiasts recommend including toothpicks to make sampling easier for little hands. One clever tip suggests placing a glass in the center of your arrangement and building around it.
The wreath design simplifies the process for those intimidated by presentation. Fresh or dried fruits, assorted cheeses, pretzels, and hummus can all find a home in your charcuterie wreath. Some Instagram users prefer a minimalist approach, using just fruits, nuts, and cheeses that follow the wreath’s curve, while others go all out, creating a lavish antipasto display.
This makes for a stunning presentation, especially when our ambitious friends (yes, we see you, Type-A) alternate colorful treats, like red and green peppers, juicy melon wedges, crisp cucumber slices, plump cherry tomatoes, and glossy olives, accompanied by smooth jams and creamy cheeses. Adding a hint of sweetness through cookies, candy canes, or chocolate creates a delightful contrast.
Many Instagrammers finish their wreaths with sprigs of greenery, incorporating rosemary, spinach, or lettuce for a splash of color. This green addition practically qualifies your wreath as a salad. Still skeptical? Pair it with oil and vinegar on the side and challenge anyone to argue otherwise.
