Do you ever create something so awesome that you feel like you will never again live up to it? That’s how I feel about this Caprese Board. I love holiday food and parties but they are often heavy on the sweets so I thought this was a super festive way to bring some savory into the fold. My mom always made caprese salad for us growing up so it holds a special place in my heart.
What You Need:
- Fresh Mozzarella cheese log (I buy pre-sliced)
- Tomatoes
- Fresh Basil
- Balsamic Glaze
- Large Charcuterie Board
- Ramekins
- Prosciutto
- Italian Seasoning
- Optional: faux poinsettias
- Optional: crostini (I skip this to lower the carb count)
Instructions:
- Slice the mozzarella and tomatoes into thin, circular slices.
- Arrange the slices in a candy cane shape on the board alternating them.
- Sprinkle with Italian Seasoning.
- Roll prosciutto into a rose shape and place in ramekin on board.
- Fill the other ramekin with balsamic glaze.
- Garnish with fresh basil leaves. Add poinsettias if desired.
About the Board:
I wanted a longer board for this salad so it would be enough to serve several people. I ended up purchasing this 30 inch Toscana Board on Amazon. It’s huge and perfect for large gatherings. I’ve been really happy with it.

Book Recommendation:
If you love charcuterie boards I definitely recommend picking up a copy of Beautiful Boards: 50 Amazing Snack Boards for Any Occasion by Maegan Brown. It makes a beautiful gift paired with a board. I got the inspiration for this board from the book but changed the seasoning to what my mom used to make. I also added prosciutto because I firmly believe everything is better with prosciutto lol.
