Description
Elevate your summer menu with this vibrant Grilled Peach Caprese Salad. By grilling the peaches, the natural fruit sugars undergo a lovely caramelization that creates a sophisticated blend of smoky, sweet, and savory notes. Paired with creamy, fresh mozzarella, aromatic torn basil, and a drizzle of rich balsamic glaze, this dish offers a perfect contrast of textures and temperatures, making it a professional-grade centerpiece for any elegant outdoor or casual warm-weather gathering.
Ingredients
4 large fresh peaches, halved and pitted
8 oz fresh buffalo mozzarella or mozzarella pearls
1 bunch fresh basil leaves, hand-torn
3 tbsp balsamic glaze
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Flaky sea salt to taste
Instructions
Clean and lightly oil your grill grates to prevent sticking.
Brush the cut sides of the peach halves with olive oil.
Place peaches cut-side down on a hot grill for 3 minutes until distinct sear marks form.
Remove peaches from the grill once they are softened and charred.
Arrange the warm peaches on a serving platter alternating with the fresh mozzarella.
Garnish the dish with the hand-torn fresh basil leaves.
Drizzle generously with the balsamic glaze and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.
Notes
Ensure the grill is properly preheated before adding the peaches for the best sear marks. Buffalo mozzarella provides the most luxurious mouthfeel, but regular fresh mozzarella works perfectly as well. Store leftover balsamic glazes in a cool, dry place.
