Instructions

Arrange the sliced peaches, fresh mozzarella, and halved cherry tomatoes on a serving platter or individual plates.
Tuck fresh basil leaves in between the peach and mozzarella slices.
Drizzle the salad generously with extra virgin olive oil.
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to your liking.
Finish by drizzling the balsamic glaze over the entire salad.

Notes

For best results, use ripe but firm peaches. You can grill or lightly pan-sear the peach slices for a warm variation. Ensure your mozzarella is good quality for the best flavor and texture. A sprinkle of toasted pine nuts can add a lovely crunch.
