Candy Cane Caprese Board
This Candy Cane Caprese Board is a fun and delicious appetizer board for holiday entertaining.
Things can get pretty decadent during the holidays with sweets and heavy appetizers and eggnog. It’s nice to have an appetizer display that is a little bit on the healthier side. This Candy Cane Caprese Board is a simple and savory way to impress your guests this time of year. It’s cute and festive, but it’s delicious too!
Slices of fresh mozzarella are layered with slices of fresh tomato to form a candy cane shape on whatever rectangular display board or platter that you have available. A rimmed board or platter is optimal, but use whatever works.
