Select a large round flat white ceramic platter or wooden serving board. Place a small ramekin or decorative glass dipping bowl in the exact center of the board to establish the wreath ring shape.

Scatter fresh baby arugula and tuck fragrant fresh rosemary and thyme sprigs in a wide circular border around the central bowl, creating a lush evergreen garland foundation.

Using small 4-inch bamboo cocktail skewers (or arranging loosely), thread one sweet cherry tomato, a folded fresh basil leaf, and one fresh mozzarella ball onto each skewer.

Artfully arrange the skewers in an overlapping circular wreath pattern atop the bed of greens, alternating red tomatoes and white mozzarella pearls so the festive colors pop brilliantly.

Tuck additional fresh basil leaves and mini cherry tomatoes into any visible gaps to ensure the wreath looks full, dimensional, and abundant.

Carefully fill the central ramekin with fresh basil pesto. If desired, craft a simple decorative ribbon bow out of sliced red bell pepper ribbons and place it at the base or top of the wreath.

Just before serving your guests, generously drizzle extra virgin olive oil and thick aged balsamic reduction glaze over the mozzarella and tomatoes. Finish with a generous pinch of flaky sea salt and cracked black pepper. Serve with toasted garlic baguette crostini.
