PEACH CAPRESE SALAD
During summer, I like to use the fresh ingredients I receive weekly from my local food share, and that's how I created this peach Caprese salad. I use large balls of mozzarella torn into pieces, but you could use smaller mozzarella pearls. -Mounir Echariti, Mendham, New Jersey

Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful peaches. The better the peaches, the better the salad will be.
- Use fresh basil. Basil adds a bright, herbaceous flavor to the salad that complements the sweetness of the peaches and the crunch of the lettuce.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of lettuce. Arugula, spinach, and romaine are all good choices.
- Add some nuts or seeds for extra crunch and flavor. Walnuts, almonds, and sunflower seeds are all good options.
- Serve the salad immediately after dressing it. The dressing will wilt the lettuce if it sits for too long.
Conclusion:
This salad is a refreshing and delicious way to enjoy the flavors of summer. It's perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and it's also a great side dish for grilled chicken or fish.
