For an extra touch of flavor, consider marinating the mozzarella balls in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, and herbs before assembling the wreath. If you can't find sugar plum tomatoes, cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes are excellent substitutes. Feel free to add other complementary ingredients such as artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes, or roasted red peppers. Prepare the wreath a few hours in advance and keep it refrigerated until ready to serve. This will allow the flavors to meld and the rosemary to infuse its fragrance into the other ingredients. Serve with a selection of toothpicks or small skewers for easy serving.

01 Step
Recipe View 10 mins Creating the Rosemary Wreath (10 minutes): On a large, round platter (approximately 10 inches in diameter), arrange the rosemary sprigs in a circular fashion to resemble a wreath. Begin by placing one sprig at a 45-degree angle, with the leafy tip pointing outwards. Overlap each subsequent sprig, tucking its stem beneath the leaves of the previous one, to create a full and lush circle.
02 Step
Recipe View 15 mins Assembling the Appetizer (15 minutes): Once the rosemary wreath base is complete, begin arranging the mozzarella balls, Castelvetrano olives, Kalamata olives, and sugar plum tomatoes in artful clusters over the rosemary sprigs. Distribute the colors and textures evenly to create a visually appealing display. Consider threading the ingredients onto small skewers for easier handling and serving.
03 Step
Recipe View 5 mins Finishing Touches (5 minutes): Before serving, gently press the mozzarella balls, olives, and tomatoes into the rosemary to secure them. This will help prevent them from rolling off the platter. Garnish with a few extra sprigs of rosemary for added fragrance and visual appeal.
