Don't you just adore summer peaches?
Do yourself a favor and invest in some spectacular balsamic vinegar for all your salads this summer. This one is a glaze I found at Whole Foods, and I use it on caprese type salads, because it's thicker and easier to make designs with over the salad. But I'm also a huge fan of the Olive This balsamic that's been aged 20 years. The longer it's been aged, the less acidic. Meaning, I would eat that stuff with a spoon.
Watch out, peach paparazzi! And y'all, I was taken in by a beautiful basil plant at Trader Joe's the other day. Only $4!! So now we have fresh basil. At least, until I possibly accidentally kill it by being out of town for a week and leaving it in the blistering sun. Oops. But I'm optimistic. {As long as none of you saw what happened to my herbs last summer. They were more like dried herbs in a pot.}
Peach Caprese Salad
Serves 2
2 large peaches
2 large tomatoes
1 handful fresh basil
About 1-2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar {or glaze}
Salt & Pepper to taste
Skin and slice the peaches, and slice the tomatoes. Salt and pepper both. Slice the basil into strips {or tear it for that rustic feel}, and layer tomatoes, peaches, and basil. Sprinkle balsamic over the plate of peaches, tomatoes, and basil. Voila!
