Begin by cutting the tomatoes and fresh mozzarella into even slices. This keeps the board looking neat and uniform.
On a large platter or wooden board, alternate tomato and mozzarella slices to form the curved top of the candy cane.
Keep alternating slices to create the long straight section of the candy cane. Adjust the curve as needed.
Tuck fresh basil leaves throughout the board or scatter them around for a pop of festive green.
Right before serving, drizzle balsamic glaze lightly over the tomatoes and mozzarella. You can serve extra on the side.
