Ingredients
  

2 ripe peaches, sliced into thick wedges

8 oz fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced into thick rounds

1 cup fresh basil leaves, whole

2 tablespoons balsamic glaze

2 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by rinsing the peaches under cool water and patting them dry. Wash the basil leaves gently. Slice the peaches and mozzarella into even, thick slices, aiming for about ½ inch in thickness to ensure a satisfying bite.

    Assemble the Salad: Take a large serving platter and start layering the salad by alternating slices of peaches and mozzarella. As you arrange them, tuck whole basil leaves between the layers to create a beautiful and colorful presentation.

      Drizzle with Olive Oil: Once you have your salad artfully arranged, take your extra-virgin olive oil and drizzle it evenly over the top of the salad to add richness.

        Add Balsamic Glaze & Honey: With a gentle hand, drizzle the balsamic glaze over the salad in a zigzag pattern to introduce a sweet and tangy contrast. Finish off with a light drizzle of honey, which will elevate and complement the natural sweetness of the peaches and the creaminess of the mozzarella.

          Season to Taste: Just before serving, sprinkle the salad with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper. This will enhance the overall flavor profile of the dish, bringing together all the elements beautifully.

            Serve Immediately: For optimal freshness and flavor, serve the Peach Caprese Delight right away. Enjoy the vibrant combination of juicy peaches, creamy mozzarella, and aromatic basil.
