Who says you have to know how to cook to serve a killer holiday appetizer? This festive appetizer is perfect for a holiday party and it only takes about five minutes to make!
For this particular wreath, I used about 1 cup of mixed Greek olives, plus an additional 1/3 cup of Kalamata olives, 1/4 cup of Pimento-stuffed olives, and about 1/3 cup of cherry tomatoes and I built the wreath on a dinner plate. You could of course make your wreath as big or as small as you’d like so I haven’t put any measurements below but that’s roughly what I did for this wreath.

The best part is that this is a rare appetizer that can truly sit out all night long during your party. You can also make it ahead and wrap the plate in plastic wrap.
