2 ripe peaches, sliced

8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced

1 cup fresh basil leaves

2 tablespoons balsamic glaze

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Peaches: Begin by washing the peaches thoroughly. Cut each peach in half, remove the pit, and then slice them into wedges.

    Slice the Mozzarella: Cut the fresh mozzarella into similar-sized slices that match the thickness of the peach slices for even layering.

      Layer the Salad: On a large serving platter, alternate layers of peach and mozzarella slices. Start with a slice of peach, followed by a slice of mozzarella, and repeat until the platter is filled.

        Add the Basil: Tuck fresh basil leaves in between the layers of peach and mozzarella, adding a pop of color and freshness.

          Drizzle the Dressings: Lightly drizzle balsamic glaze and extra virgin olive oil over the arranged salad.

            Season: Finish by sprinkling salt and freshly cracked black pepper over the top to enhance the flavors.

              Serve Immediately: This salad is best served fresh to enjoy the vibrant flavors of summer.
