Peach Caprese Salad Recipe
This Peach Caprese Salad combines ripe peaches, heirloom tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, basil, and olive oil in an easy 15-minute summer salad.
Ingredients
- 2 ripe but firm peaches sliced into wedges
- 2 large heirloom tomatoes sliced into wedges
- 8 ounces fresh mozzarella drained and torn into pieces
- ⅓ cup fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt divided
- Freshly cracked black pepper
- Flaky sea salt for serving
- Honey or balsamic glaze optional for serving
Instructions
- Season the peaches and tomatoes: Add the sliced peaches and tomatoes to a shallow bowl. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with ¼ teaspoon kosher salt. Gently toss and let sit for 5 minutes.
- Assemble the salad: Arrange the peaches and tomatoes on a serving platter. Tuck the torn mozzarella and fresh basil throughout.
- Finish the salad: Drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Season with the remaining kosher salt, freshly cracked black pepper, and a small pinch of flaky sea salt.
- Serve: Finish with a light drizzle of honey or balsamic glaze, if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use peaches that are ripe but still firm enough to hold their shape.
- Drain the mozzarella well so it doesn’t add unnecessary moisture to the salad.
- Add the basil shortly before serving so it stays fresh and green.
- Serve the salad at room temperature for the best flavor.
- Choose either honey or balsamic glaze and use it sparingly.
