Peach Mozzarella And Basil Salad Real Simple Recipes

Steps:

• Arrange 8 ounces sliced fresh mozzarella, 2 sliced heirloom tomatoes and 2 sliced peaches on a platter. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons olive oil and 1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and pepper and top with fresh basil.

Steps:

• Cut each peach into 6 to 8 wedges, then cut each wedge in half crosswise.
• In a large bowl, combine the peaches, basil, and mozzarella.
• Drizzle with the oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss.
• (You can cover and refrigerate the salad for up to several hours.) Serve cold or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil. Add the basil to the boiling water and cook until just wilted and bright green, about 15 seconds. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a blender and puree until smooth. With the machine running, add the olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
