Prep Ingredients. Arrange each ingredient in separate bowls for easy access.
Assemble Skewers. Thread ingredients onto 4-inch skewers, alternating colors and textures. Start with a larger piece like an olive or tomato to anchor the skewer.
Form the Wreath. On a large plate or wooden board, layer the skewers in a circle, overlapping slightly to mimic the shape of a wreath. Build 2 to 3 layers for fullness.
Add Fresh Herbs. Tuck sprigs of rosemary throughout the wreath for that classic evergreen look.
Add Dipping Sauce. Place a small bowl of Tomato Basil Sauce in the center of the wreath for dipping.
Optional Finish. Drizzle lightly with olive oil or balsamic vinegar and sprinkle with Italian seasoning for extra flavor.
