The Caprese salad, known in Italian as "Insalata Caprese," hails from the picturesque island of Capri, located in the Tyrrhenian Sea. The dish is traditionally composed of three simple yet high-quality ingredients: ripe tomatoes, fresh mozzarella cheese, and basil leaves. Its vibrant colors—red, white, and green—reflect the hues of the Italian flag and symbolize the country’s culinary heritage.

8 oz fresh mozzarella, sliced

1 cup fresh basil leaves

2 tbsp balsamic glaze

2 tbsp honey

1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Start by washing the peaches and basil leaves. Slice the peaches and mozzarella into even, thick slices, about ½ inch each.

    Assemble the Salad: On a large serving platter, alternate layers of sliced peaches and mozzarella. Tuck fresh basil leaves in between the layers for added color and flavor.

      Drizzle with Olive Oil: Once the salad is beautifully arranged, drizzle extra-virgin olive oil evenly over the top.

        Add Balsamic Glaze & Honey: Drizzle balsamic glaze across the salad in a zigzag manner for a touch of sweetness and acidity. Follow with a light drizzle of honey to enhance the natural flavors of the peaches and mozzarella.

          Season to Taste: Sprinkle with salt and freshly ground black pepper to elevate the flavors.

            Serve Immediately: For the best taste and presentation, serve the Peach Caprese immediately while the peaches are fresh and juicy.
