Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by rinsing the medium yellow peaches and cherry tomatoes under cool running water, then pat them dry with a clean cloth. Cut the peaches into bite-sized pieces, while halving the cherry tomatoes for a burst of juicy flavor.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the diced peaches, halved tomatoes, fresh mozzarella pearls, and chopped red onion. Take your time mixing, allowing the colors and textures to mingle.
  3. Sprinkle the chopped fresh basil into the bowl, and drizzle the mixture with extra virgin olive oil and white wine vinegar. Add a pinch of sea salt and a crack of fresh black pepper to taste.
  4. With a gentle hand, toss all the ingredients together until they are evenly coated with the dressing. Be careful not to mash the peaches or mozzarella.
  5. Generously drizzle balsamic glaze over the top of the salad, allowing its sweetness to complement the elements below.
