Notes

Variations on Peach Caprese

Make a Peach Caprese Salad

Use a bed of greens, such as baby kale, arugula, or a spring mix. Add the ingredients for peach caprese over the top. If desired, use cherry tomatoes instead of heirlooms and small mozzarella balls instead of the larger slices. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and season with salt and pepper when ready to serve.

Peach and Burrata Caprese

Burrata made with a layer of mozzarella around a center of mozzarella cheese and cream. It’s a wonderful addition to this dish! Instead of fresh mozzarella, use burrata. For this variation, I would cut the tomato slices in quarters and mix together the ingredients like a salad, with the burrata left in whole pieces to cut open when serving.

Caprese with No Tomatoes

This peach caprese is incredible made with or without tomatoes! Simply omit the tomatoes, or add pitted and halved cherries to the dish if desired.

Peach Caprese Skewers

Looking to make this dish more party friendly? Cut the tomato slices in quarters, the peach slices in half, and the mozzarella in half or quarters. Use 6 inch skewers, and layer on tomatoes, mozzarella, peaches, and basil leaves. Add skewers to a serving platter and drizzle with olive oil and vinegar, and season with salt and pepper.
