Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces Ripe peaches (Pitted and sliced) Use in-season peaches for best flavor
  • 1 cup Fresh mozzarella balls (Halved) Can be swapped for burrata for extra creaminess
  • 1 cup Arugula or mixed greens (For a peppery bite) Feel free to experiment with any greens
  • 1/2 cup Walnuts (Toasted and chopped) Can substitute with pecans or almonds
  • 1/4 cup Feta cheese (Crumbled) Can be replaced with avocado for a vegan option
  • 1/4 cup Fresh basil leaves (Torn) A squeeze of lemon can add extra zing
  • 1/4 cup Balsamic glaze (For drizzling) A lemon vinaigrette can also be used
  • Salt and Pepper To taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Wash the peaches thoroughly under cool running water, then cut them in half and remove the pits. Slice them into wedges.
  2. In a large salad bowl, combine the sliced peaches, halved mozzarella balls, and arugula or mixed greens.
  3. Add the toasted walnuts, crumbled feta cheese, and torn basil leaves to the bowl.
  4. Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the salad mixture and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Gently toss the salad to combine all ingredients without mashing the peaches or mozzarella.
  6. Chill the salad in the refrigerator for about 10–15 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
  7. Serve the salad on individual plates or directly from the bowl.

Notes

This salad is best enjoyed fresh, but it can be stored in the fridge for about 1–2 days. Keep the dressing separate if preparing in advance to prevent wilting greens.
