What is Caprese Salad?

The salad is named after the island of Capri, where it is believed to have originated. Traditionally, it’s an Italian dish of fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil. Classic flavors that play off each other beautifully.

When you think a Caprese salad can’t get better, my rendition is full of summer goodness. I used peaches instead of tomatoes and the exchange is terrific!

Recipe Tips

First, you can substitute mint for the basil.

Also, prosciutto would make a nice, salty, hearty addition to the stack.

Balsamic reduction is simple to make. It just takes a little time. However, you can also purchase it. (balsamic reduction recipe, purchase balsamic reduction)

Additionally, for a heartier meal, place your salad stack on a bed of greens and top with either Balsamic Reduction or Balsamic Vinaigrette.

Looks too pretty to eat! Thanks for linking up on my Healthy Tuesday post.

How lovely! Never thought to pair peaches and mozzarella together. I'm always looking for new ways to serve peaches since we live in peach country. Pinning!
