One of the most timeless summer salads. To me, a peach caprese salad just screams summer. It screams hot summer days, holidays, friends over, barbeques in the garden, everything to do with summer. This is my favourite way to make a peach caprese.
The major key with a salad like this is to find the best peaches (or just fresh produce) in general. I would highly suggest trying to venture to the greengrocers or a shop outside of the big supermarkets to find your peaches in the UK. They might be a little more expensive but the flavour, texture and aroma they have makes it honestly so worth it. The same goes for tomatoes, although these days you can find good tomatoes in the supermarket I will say. Make sure you have your tomatoes out of the fridge and totally room temp when making this salad.
The only other components you need are fresh basil and fresh mozzarella. I like it in slices and layered up, so everyone can help themselves to a little slice of each. Lots of Maldon salt and good olive oil make this peach caprese, as well as a little drizzle of balsamic vinegar I find balsamic glaze too sweet here with the peaches alongside so the balsamic vinegar cuts well.
