Caprese Salad… With Peaches?
Why not?
Last night, as one of my small plates that I served at a dinner party, I added two giant, local, organic peaches to my normal preparation of Paleo Caprese Salad of Tomato, Basil & Olive OIl.
Result? A lovely blend of flavor and colour.
Be sure to save this one as a dish you prepare only shortly before you serve it, as you would NOT want to put your tomatoes in the fridge; doing so will render them mushy. In addition, serving this at room temperature is far more palatable.
- Slice tomato & peaches and arrange in layers on platter.
- Mince fresh basil leaves then scatter on top of tomatoes & peaches.
- Drizzle extra virgin olive oil on top.
- Serve as part of your first course, or main- it's not only delicious, but versatile!
