Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2–3 ripe peaches, washed and sliced into wedges or bite-sized pieces
  • 1 ripe avocado, peeled, pitted, and sliced
  • 6–8 oz fresh mozzarella, torn into chunks or sliced
  • Fresh basil leaves, a handful, torn or whole

Dressing & Seasoning

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1–2 tablespoons balsamic glaze or vinegar
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peaches: Wash and slice the ripe peaches into thin wedges or bite-sized pieces, taking care not to mash them so they retain their juicy texture.
  2. Slice the Avocado: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, scoop out the flesh, and slice it into smooth, even pieces that blend beautifully with the other ingredients.
  3. Tear or Slice Fresh Mozzarella: Tear the fresh mozzarella into chunks or slice it thinly according to your preference and the size of your salad bowl.
  4. Assemble the Salad: In a large mixing bowl or on a serving platter, gently combine the peach wedges, avocado slices, and mozzarella chunks. Scatter fresh basil leaves evenly throughout.
  5. Dress and Season: Drizzle extra virgin olive oil and a light splash of balsamic glaze or vinegar over the salad. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Toss gently to combine, taking care not to break the delicate ingredients.

Notes

  • Choose perfectly ripe peaches and avocados to ensure optimal juiciness and creaminess without bitterness.
  • Use fresh mozzarella balls from the deli for the best texture and flavor.
  • Layer ingredients carefully and add avocado last to avoid mushiness.
  • Chill the salad for 10-15 minutes before serving to let flavors meld and keep it cool.
  • Adjust the acidity of the dressing by experimenting with balsamic glaze or vinegar to achieve your desired balance.
