Ingredients

3-4 Fresh Tomatoes
16 ounce Fresh Mozzarella Cheese Log sliced
Fresh Basil Leaves small bunch
3 Tablespoons Balsamic Glaze

Instructions

Cut the tomatoes into ¼ inch slices.
Arrange the tomato and mozzarella slices on a board into the shape of a candy cane.
Scatter fresh basil leaves on the board as well as a small bowl of balsamic glaze for drizzling.

Notes

Any type of rectangular board will do. Wooden cutting boards work nicely. You could even wrap a plastic cutting board or baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
You should be able to find a mozzarella cheese log that is already pre-sliced. Otherwise cut into ¼ inch thick slices.
Balsamic Glaze can be found near the balsamic vinegar at your supermarket.
Serve with small plates, a fork for the tomatoes and mozzarella, and a a small spoon for the balsamic glaze.

Enjoy!
