To be sure the hole in the middle of the wreath is the right size. Use a rubber scraper to spread the hummus mixture in a circle all around the bowl/glass you placed at the center. Remove the bowl/glass from the center using a gentle, upward twisting motion. If needed, you can carefully insert the tip of a toothpick under the edge of the bowl/glass to help it release.

Serve immediately with dippers of your choice, or cover and refrigerate for up to 1-2 days. (See make-ahead tips below.)

#Make_ahead_tips:

You can make this recipe partially ahead by mixing together the ingredients for both the hummus layer and the parsley layer – cover and refrigerate them separately until finishing your wreath. Alternately, you can make the entire wreath completely ahead, up to 1-2 days before serving.

Store the platter in the refrigerator, tightly covered in plastic wrap, but be sure the wrap doesn't stick to your wreath or smash it. Also, note that if you make the parsley layer ahead of time, it may soften and darken just a little, but it still looks nice and tastes great.
