How To Make A Peach Caprese Salad 

Slice the peaches and fresh mozzarella into 1’2”-1” thick slices.

If you are laying them on a platter, you can slice them a little bit thinner. But if you are stacking them then err towards the 1” size for maximum height and stack ability.

Layer the peach slices, mozzarella slices and basil leaves on a large platter.

Drizzle with olive oil, white balsamic reduction and a generous pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Alternatively, create individual stacks.

Layer 1-2 slices of peach with 1 slice mozzarella and top with 1-2 basil leaves.

Layer again with 1-2 slices of peach, mozzarella and basil leaves.

Divide the olive oil/balsamic vinegar and drizzle each stack with 1 tsp. each.

Sprinkle with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
