Peach, mozzarella and basil salad

peachmozzbasil200.jpgYou 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.
