Ingredients
  

2 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced into ¼-inch thick wedges

8 oz fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced or bocconcini balls

1 cup fresh basil leaves, rinsed and patted dry

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon balsamic glaze (store-bought or homemade)

Sea salt, to taste

Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

Prep the Ingredients: Begin by thoroughly washing the peaches under cool running water. Cut each peach in half, carefully removing the pit, and slice the halves into ¼-inch thick wedges. If using bocconcini, you can leave them whole; if you’re working with a larger mozzarella ball, slice it into pieces that match the thickness of the peach wedges for a uniform presentation.

    Layer the Salad: On a large serving platter or individual plates, arrange the salad by alternating layers of peach slices and mozzarella. For each layer, place a peach slice followed by a slice of mozzarella until you have utilized all the peaches and cheese, creating an inviting visual.

      Add the Basil: Nestle the fresh basil leaves between the layers of peach and mozzarella. This step not only elevates the aesthetic but also infuses the dish with incredible aroma and flavor.

        Drizzle with Olive Oil: Generously drizzle the extra-virgin olive oil over the assembled salad. This will enhance the dish's flavors while adding a luscious, fruity element.

          Finish with Balsamic Glaze: Top the salad with a drizzle of balsamic glaze, allowing the sweet and tangy profile to beautifully complement the fresh peaches and mozzarella.

            Season to Taste: Lightly sprinkle sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper over the entire salad to boost the flavors and ensure that every bite is a delight.

              Serve & Enjoy: Serve your Peach & Mozzarella Delight immediately for the best flavor experience. It shines as a refreshing appetizer or a light dish perfect for summer gatherings.
