Description
A vibrant and refreshing summer salad that creatively reimagines the classic Italian Caprese. By replacing traditional tomatoes with juicy, sun-ripened peaches, this dish offers a perfect harmony of sweet and savory notes. Creamy mozzarella, fragrant fresh basil, and a drizzle of premium balsamic glaze come together to create an effortless, elegant, and healthy appetizer or side dish that requires no cooking at all.
Ingredients
3 large fresh peaches, sliced into wedges
8 oz fresh mozzarella, sliced
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, torn
2 tbsp balsamic glaze
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Sea salt to taste
Freshly cracked black pepper to taste
Instructions
Wash the peaches thoroughly and pat them dry.
Slice the peaches into half-inch wedges and arrange on a serving platter.
Distribute the fresh mozzarella slices evenly among the peach wedges.
Tuck the torn basil leaves between the layers of cheese and peaches.
Drizzle the olive oil over the arrangement in a slow, steady motion.
Apply the balsamic glaze in a decorative pattern over the entire dish.
Sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper just before serving.
Notes
Choose peaches that yield slightly to pressure but remain firm enough to hold their shape during slicing. For the best flavor, use high-quality, cold-pressed olive oil.
