Ingredients

  • 2 ripe peaches, pitted and chopped
  • 1 cup fresh mozzarella (bocconcini or pearls), halved or torn
  • 1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn or thinly sliced
  • 2 cups mixed greens or arugula (optional)
  • 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1.5 tbsp balsamic vinegar or balsamic glaze
  • 1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced or 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl or serving platter, layer or gently toss the chopped peaches, mozzarella, tomatoes, basil, and mixed greens if using.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar or glaze, honey (if using), garlic, salt, and pepper until emulsified.
  3. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine, being careful not to mash the peaches.
  4. Taste and adjust with extra balsamic or salt if needed. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Swap basil with fresh mint or a mint-basil blend for variation.
  • Use burrata or goat cheese instead of mozzarella for a creamy alternative.
  • Add toasted nuts like pine nuts, almonds, or walnuts for crunch.
  • Mix in berries like strawberries or blueberries for extra color and sweetness.
  • Best served fresh; refrigerate leftovers for up to 1 day.
