This peach Caprese salad recipe uses super simple ingredients, so it’s important that they’re all as fresh (or high quality) as possible! Check out the recipe card at the end of the post for exact measurements.

Peaches: This recipe is best made with fresh peaches!Tomatoes: I used 4 ripe, medium-sized tomatoes. Since fresh tomatoes are such an important part of Caprese salads, see my tips section below on picking the best of the bunch! Even better, use garden-fresh tomatoes if you have them!Fresh Mozzarella Cheese: Use high-quality mozzarella for the best flavor. You can also use burrata!Olive Oil: You want your olive oil to be as flavorful as possible, so I recommend using cold-pressed or extra virgin olive oil.Balsamic Vinegar: You can add balsamic vinegar as-is, or make it into a balsamic reduction for a more glaze-like texture. See my tips section below for more info on making a balsamic reduction!Flaked Sea Salt: I love the texture that flaky salt adds to this salad.Fresh Basil Leaves: Fresh basil is a must-add for that signature fresh, minty flavor of Caprese.

How to Make Caprese Salad With Peaches

You’re going to love this fun and fruity twist on a traditional Caprese salad. It’s super easy to prepare, too, which makes it the perfect summer side dish!

Picking Peaches: Make sure when you’re picking out peaches, they’re large, slightly firm, and free of bruises and blemishes. I like buying my fruit from farmer’s markets for the best flavor and juiciness.Picking Tomatoes: The perfect tomato will feel heavy, be deep red in color, and free of bruises or blemishes. I always go for heirloom tomatoes because they’re great this time of year!Making a Balsamic Reduction: If you want your balsamic drizzle to be on the thicker side, try making a balsamic reduction! Simply add your balsamic vinegar to a small saucepan and cook over medium heat until some liquid evaporates. The thick, glossy texture of a balsamic reduction helps it to coat your fruit, veggies, and cheese perfectly.

In the Refrigerator: Store your peach Caprese salad in an airtight container for up to 24 hours.
