Simply Summer Peach Salad

7 Comments/ 221/ 0

I love anything with basil and mozzarella and this quick and easy recipe features both of these flavors in a light and delicious summery salad.  The peaches are perfect right now and this is the perfect salad to serve with any meal but definitely a great addition to those grilled meals.

    This looks so delicious! Made me realize we haven’t eaten peaches all summer.

      They are so good right now—I suspect the ones I got are from Georgia but they are so juicy and wonderful!

    This would be a good way to use the excess basil growing in two pots (since I haven’t been able to cook this summer). We are just beginning to get some really good peaches here in Minnesota from Colorado. Peaches are one of my favorite fruits, except for the fuzzy skin, which I cannot tolerate on my tongue because of the texture.

    Commenting for a cause…I actually think peaches are perfect the way they are, still warm from the sun after being skinned, gnawed off the pit.

      Oh yes–the ones I just got are really wonderful just sliced up and eaten. I am very messy when I eat them whole. 🙂
