Tips:

  • Choose ripe and flavorful peaches: The quality of your peaches will make a big difference in the taste of your salad. Look for peaches that are fragrant and have a slight give when you press them gently.
  • Use fresh mozzarella cheese: Fresh mozzarella cheese is soft and creamy, and it pairs perfectly with the sweet peaches and tangy dressing.
  • Use high-quality olive oil: Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice for this salad. It has a rich flavor that will enhance the other ingredients.
  • Add some herbs: Fresh basil is the classic herb to use in this salad, but you can also add other herbs like mint, thyme, or oregano.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A little dressing goes a long way in this salad. Too much dressing will overwhelm the flavors of the other ingredients.
