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

        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.
