Peach Caprese Salad

I'm really glad that my nephew Silas decided to complete pharmacy school at UT's satellite campus in Nashville. If he lets me, this gives me three years to spoil him. And so it began last night.

Scott and Tina are in town to help him move. While the guys stayed behind to chill, Tina and I hit the farmer's market as well as my favorite Savory Spice Shop in downtown Franklin. Our finds made for a fantastic dinner. We enjoyed grilled chicken, fresh green beans, corn on the cob, and peach caprese salad, my favorite new side! Silas took care of dessert by bringing us Gibson's doughnuts from Memphis. Dear Lord. I see now what the hype is all about.

Back to the peach caprese salad. I had never heard of this variation. Watermelon, yes. Peaches, no. I'm glad Tina likes to experiment because this unexpected twist on the conventional caprese salad is something I will do from now on. The freestone peaches from the farmer's market were amazing. Tina simply combined those with her own home-grown tomatoes, mozzarella balls, then drizzled with balsamic dressing. This one's a keeper!


Ingredients:
  • Tomatoes, chopped or sliced
  • Peaches, chopped or sliced
  • Mozzarella balls
  • Basil (fresh)
  • Balsamic dressing
Directions:
Arrange first three ingredients on a platter. Top with fresh basil. Drizzle with balsamic dressing.
