  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 3 large tomatoes, sliced
  • 1 pound fresh mozzarella, sliced
  • 2 large peaches, sliced
  • 1 small seedless cucumber, sliced and cut in half
  • 1/2 cup grape or cherry tomatoes, cut in half
  • 1/4 cup red onion slices
  • 1/3 cup fresh basil leaves
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Balsamic glaze, for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Arrange the Ingredients: On a large platter, neatly arrange the sliced tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, peaches, cucumbers, grape tomatoes, red onion slices, and fresh basil leaves in an appealing pattern.
  2. Season the Salad: Sprinkle kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper evenly over the arranged ingredients to enhance their natural flavors.
  3. Drizzle with Balsamic Glaze: Carefully drizzle balsamic glaze over the entire salad for a sweet and tangy finish that complements the fresh ingredients.
  4. Serve Immediately: Serve the salad right away to enjoy the fresh crispness of the vegetables and fruit, ideally as a light appetizer or side dish in warm weather.

Notes

  • Use ripe, in-season peaches for the best flavor.
  • If balsamic glaze is unavailable, reduce balsamic vinegar until thickened as a substitute.
  • This salad is best served fresh and not refrigerated for extended periods to preserve texture.
  • Can be easily doubled or halved depending on the number of servings needed.
