Description
A refreshing twist on the classic Caprese salad featuring juicy summer peaches, creamy fresh mozzarella, and a tangy balsamic glaze, perfect for warm weather dining.
Ingredients
3 ripe peaches, sliced into 1/4-inch thick wedges
8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds
1 cup fresh basil leaves, whole
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
Salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the balsamic vinegar and honey. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reduces by half and becomes syrupy, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
On a large serving platter, alternate and arrange the peach slices, mozzarella slices, and basil leaves in an overlapping pattern.
Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil evenly over the arranged salad.
Drizzle the cooled balsamic glaze over the peaches, mozzarella, and basil.
Season the salad with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 1 hour before serving to allow flavors to meld.
