Peach & Tomato Caprese Platter
This recipe is bright, beautiful, and bursting with flavor—an instant showstopper on any table!
Ingredients
- 2 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced into wedges or rounds
- 2 large ripe tomatoes, sliced into thick rounds (heirloom varieties look especially pretty)
- 8 ounces fresh mozzarella, sliced (log, ball, or even mozzarella pearls work)
- ½ cup fresh basil leaves, tear larger ones for bite-sized pieces
- Balsamic vinaigrette, or balsamic glaze, or hot honey—for drizzling
- Flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Layer the platter: Arrange the peach and tomato slices on a large platter, alternating with mozzarella and tucking in basil leaves between. Let it be casual or fan them out in a pattern—there’s no wrong way to make it look gorgeous.
- Season and finish: Sprinkle the top with flaky sea salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Drizzle with balsamic vinaigrette, glaze, or hot honey—whatever flavor profile you’re feeling!
- Serve fresh: This dish shines when it’s just assembled and served at room temperature. But if you have leftovers, you can store in an airtight container in the fridge for one more day. See recipe notes below.
Notes
Variations:
• Add texture by sprinkling toasted pine nuts, chopped pistachios, or roasted and chopped cashews on top.
• Give it a leafy twist by serving each portion over a bed of arugula or mixed greens for extra volume and a peppery bite.
• You can try nectarines or plums or sliced mango in place of peaches for a fun change. Make it gluten-free: Naturally gluten-free! Just be sure your vinaigrette, glaze, or hot honey is certified if needed. Storage: Best when freshly assembled, but if you have leftovers, pop them in an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 1 day. The fruit may release a bit of juice—just give it a gentle mix before enjoying again.
