Tomato And Peach Caprese Salad
Tomato And Peach Caprese Salad
Caprese salad — with tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and basil — is a summertime classic. For a sweet riff that takes full advantage of summer produce, add in some sliced peaches for a real treat. Though it's absolutely perfect as a light summer salad, you could add torn prosciutto for a salty, meaty addition as well.
