Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 large ripe peaches, sliced
  • 2 large tomatoes, sliced
  • 8 oz fresh mozzarella, sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Start by washing and slicing the peaches and tomatoes. Ensure the slices are even for a beautiful presentation. Slice the fresh mozzarella into similar-sized pieces.
  2. On a large platter, arrange the peach and tomato slices alternately. Place a slice of mozzarella on top of each peach and tomato slice. Tuck fresh basil leaves between the slices for added flavor and color.
  3. Drizzle the salad with extra-virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze. Season lightly with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  4. This salad is best enjoyed fresh, so serve it immediately after assembling to savor the vibrant flavors and textures.

Notes

Choose ripe but firm peaches and tomatoes for the best flavor. For extra texture, consider adding toasted pine nuts or almonds. If you don't have balsamic glaze, you can make your own by simmering balsamic vinegar until it thickens.
