This Grilled Peach Caprese Salad is a modern, sophisticated twist on the Italian classic. By grilling fresh, ripe peach wedges, we unlock a deep, smoky sweetness that pairs perfectly with creamy mozzarella and peppery fresh basil. Finished with a drizzle of balsamic glaze and luscious extra virgin olive oil, this refreshing dish makes an impressive starter or light summery main course that balances sweet and savory flavors beautifully.
4 large fresh peaches
8 oz fresh mozzarella (buffalo or cow milk)
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
2 tbsp balsamic glaze
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Sea salt to taste
Slice the peaches into thick wedges and remove the pits.
Brush each peach slice lightly with extra virgin olive oil.
Heat a grill or indoor griddle pan to medium-high.
Place peach slices face down on the grates for 2 minutes to achieve grill marks.
Arrange the grilled peaches and mozzarella slices on a flat platter.
Distribute torn fresh basil leaves between the fruit and cheese.
Drizzle with balsamic glaze and the remaining olive oil before serving.
Use firm but ripe peaches for the best texture when grilling. You can use balsamic glaze from a store or make your own by reducing balsamic vinegar in a small saucepan over low heat until it coats the back of a spoon.
