Peach Caprese Salad is a fresh and colorful spin on the classic, making it ideal for summer get togethers like parties, picnics, BBQs, or as a light lunch or side. It’s made with sweet, juicy peaches, ripe tomatoes, creamy mozzarella, and fresh basil, all topped with a drizzle of balsamic glaze for the perfect balance of flavors. Naturally low in carbs and gluten free, it’s a delicious option for a variety of dietary needs.

Caprese is my favorite summer salad, and I love this version even more than the original! It comes together in just minutes with simple, seasonal ingredients, making it both easy and elegant. Serve it chilled for a refreshing dish on hot days, and feel free to add prosciutto, arugula, or a sprinkle of nuts for extra texture and flavor. It’s a beautiful, crowd-pleasing salad that truly celebrates the best of summer produce!

Fresh basil is the best herb! We love it and use it almost daily. Check out this Strawberry Basil Smash or Garlic and Basil Sesame Noodles if you love basil too!

Recipe tips and substitution ideas:

• This salad is best made, served and eaten within a short amount of time. I don't recommend keeping leftovers, but they should be good refrigerated in an airtight container for up to one day.

• Try adding or substituting arugula, prosciutto, strawberries or avocado instead of peaches. If you don't have fresh basil, drizzle some pesto over top with the balsamic glaze instead!
