Ingredients
  

For the Salad
  • 2 medium medium peaches, ripe and fragrant Feel free to swap out for ripe nectarines.
  • 8 ounces fresh mozzarella, ideally in ball form For an attractive presentation.
  • 12 leaves fresh basil, vibrant and aromatic Keep leaves whole until serving.
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil For drizzling.
For the Balsamic Glaze
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar The star of our glaze.
  • 1 tablespoon honey To enhance the glaze's richness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by halving the peaches. Use a sharp knife to carefully remove the pits and slice them into 1/4-inch wedges.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine the balsamic vinegar and honey. Set the heat to medium and let it come to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally.
  3. Allow the balsamic mixture to cook, stirring, until it reduces by half and takes on a syrupy consistency, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool.
Assembly
  1. On a beautiful serving platter, arrange the peach wedges and slices of mozzarella in an alternating pattern.
  2. Tuck the fresh basil leaves in between the slices.
  3. Drizzle the olive oil over the salad and finish with the cooled balsamic glaze.
  4. Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired, and serve immediately.
