Say "peachy caprese" 10 times fast. Can't do it, can you?
So this was an idea I had while strolling through the Dekalb Farmers Market here in Decatur. Caprese salad is one of my absolute favorites, especially in the late summer. Easy to throw together and particularly divine when tomatoes are at their peak. You always see fruit paired with cheese in cheese courses. Why not try a twist on my beloved Caprese?
My version is a white peach layered with creamy buffalo mozzarella. To dress it, I drizzled a fig balsamic vinegar (from Savor Foods in Atlanta), great quality extra virgin olive oil, cracked black pepper and sea salt. Perched on top is a quick chiffonade of pineapple basil from my herb box. All of the flavors - creamy, salty, sweet - worked together amazingly.
What summer fruit or vegetable would you use for your version?
