Peach, mozzarella and basil salad
You have to love a dish that doesn't so much have a recipe as it does a short list of ingredients.
I've been thinking about this salad ever since a regular customer mentioned a version of it to me at Saturday's Green City Market. Really, if I say that I made a peach, mozzarella and basil salad, I've told you everything you need to know to make your own.
Yes, I did take a second to peel the peaches. I took another second to grind some pepper and drizzle some balsamic vinegar on top. You could add olive oil. But that's it. The whole thing came together in about a minute.
The tangy sweetness of the peach contrasts with the creaminess of the fresh mozzarella.
It's the perfect one-minute summer salad.
