Ingredients
  

2 ripe peaches, sliced into thick wedges

8 oz fresh mozzarella, sliced into rounds

1 cup fresh basil leaves

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons balsamic glaze (store-bought or homemade)

Sea salt, to taste

Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Optional: crushed pistachios or walnuts for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by washing the peaches thoroughly. Cut them in half, remove the pit, and slice each half into wedges. Slice the fresh mozzarella into rounds and set aside.

    Assemble the Salad: On a large serving platter, arrange the peach wedges and mozzarella slices in an alternating fashion. Tuck the fresh basil leaves in between the peach and mozzarella layers for a vibrant look.

      Season the Salad: Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the salad, ensuring each component is lightly coated. Following this, drizzle the balsamic glaze over the top for added flavor and presentation.

        Add Flavor: Lightly sprinkle sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper over the salad. This will enhance the sweetness of the peaches and the creaminess of the mozzarella.

          Garnish (Optional): For a crunchy texture, sprinkle crushed pistachios or walnuts on top of the salad. This will provide a delightful contrast to the softness of the mozzarella and peaches.

            Serve: Allow the salad to sit for a few minutes to let the flavors meld together. Serve it fresh as a light appetizer or side dish that celebrates the juicy sweetness of summer peaches!
