Ingredients
  

4 ripe peaches, sliced

8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced

1 cup fresh basil leaves

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 tablespoons balsamic glaze

Sea salt, to taste

Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

Prep the Peaches: Start by washing the peaches under cold water. Pat them dry with a towel. Slice the peaches into thin wedges, discarding the pit.

    Assemble the Salad: On a large serving platter, alternate layers of peach slices and mozzarella slices. Tuck whole basil leaves in between the layers for added flavor and color.

      Drizzle with Olive Oil: Once your salad is arranged, drizzle the olive oil evenly over the top, ensuring that all components get a touch of richness.

        Balsamic Glaze Finish: Generously drizzle the balsamic glaze over the salad for a sweet and tangy contrast to the fresh peaches and creamy mozzarella.

          Season to Taste: Sprinkle sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper over the entire salad. This will enhance the flavors and bring the dish together.

            Chill (Optional): For an extra refreshing touch, you can chill the salad in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving, but it's equally delicious at room temperature.

              Serve and Enjoy: Serve this Peach Caprese Salad as a delightful appetizer or side dish, and enjoy the symphony of flavors!
