Caprese appetizers feature more than just the colors of the Italian flag. They're also traditional Christmas colors. So why not decorate your holiday table with them? Make crostini with all the flavors of Caprese: tender mozzarella, sweet tomatoes, and fragrant basil. Serve by arranging the sandwiches to form an Advent wreath.
