Peach Caprese Salad
This Peach Caprese Salad is a perfect summer dish. It combines sweet, juicy peaches with creamy mozzarella, salty prosciutto, and a tangy balsamic glaze. It is incredibly easy to make, looks beautiful, and is full of fresh, vibrant flavor.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 5 ounces spring mix
- 2 medium peaches (sliced thin)
- 8 ounces mozzarella pearls
- 3 ounces prosciutto (torn)
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
- kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Make the Vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and fresh lemon juice until they are well combined. Set it aside for now.
- Assemble the Base: In a large serving platter, arrange the spring mix in an even layer. Then, place the sliced peaches on top.
- Add the Toppings: Gently scatter the mozzarella pearls and the torn pieces of prosciutto over the peaches and greens. Try to distribute them evenly.
- Dress and Serve: Drizzle the lemon vinaigrette over the salad. Then, add a generous swirl of balsamic glaze. Season with salt and pepper, and serve immediately.
Notes
- For the best taste, use the freshest, ripest peaches you can find.
- Feel free to swap the spring mix for arugula or baby spinach.
- You can add toasted pine nuts or walnuts for a little extra crunch.
- This salad is best served right away to keep the greens crisp.
- If you don't have prosciutto, you can leave it out for a vegetarian version.
