Ingredients
  

2 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced

8 oz fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced or bocconcini balls

1 cup fresh basil leaves

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon balsamic glaze (store-bought or homemade)

Salt, to taste

Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

Prep the Ingredients: Start by washing the peaches thoroughly. Cut them in half, remove the pits, and slice each peach into ¼-inch thick slices. If using mozzarella balls, keep them whole; if using larger mozzarella, slice them into similar thickness as the peaches.

    Layer the Salad: On a large serving platter or individual plates, alternate layers of sliced peaches and mozzarella. For each layer, place a slice of peach followed by a slice of mozzarella until you've used all the peaches and cheese.

      Add the Basil: Tuck fresh basil leaves between the peach and mozzarella layers for a lovely aromatic touch and burst of flavor.

        Drizzle with Olive Oil: Evenly drizzle the extra-virgin olive oil over the salad. This will enhance the flavors and add a rich, fruity note.

          Finish with Balsamic Glaze: Drizzle balsamic glaze over the top of the salad. The sweet, tangy flavor will contrast beautifully with the peaches and cheese.

            Season to Taste: Sprinkle with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste. This will elevate the flavors, ensuring each bite is delightful.

              Serve & Enjoy: Enjoy your Easy Peach Caprese Salad right away for the best flavors. It’s perfect as a refreshing appetizer or a light dish for summer gatherings.
