Total Time 15 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 4 ripe peaches pitted and cut into medium thick slices
  • 8 oz fresh mozzarella pearls or slices cut
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved (optional, but adds color and freshness)
  • Fresh basil leaves about 1/4 cup
  • Fresh mint or thyme optional, for extra herb flavor

For the Dressing:

  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar or a good quality aged balsamic glaze
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your grill (or grill pan) to medium-high heat.
  • Prepare the peaches: Brush the peach halves lightly with olive oil. Place them cut-side down on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes until you get nice grill marks and the peaches are slightly softened. Remove and let cool slightly, then slice each half into 3-4 wedges.
  • Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper until emulsified.
  • Assemble the salad: On a serving plate, arrange the grilled peach slices, fresh mozzarella, and cherry tomatoes (if using). Scatter fresh basil and herbs over the top.
  • Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salad.
  • Optional: Add a light drizzle of extra honey over the top if you like it more sweet
