Peach Caprese Salad

Peach Caprese Salad

Submitted by Hayley Mielnicki of Utica, NY

Chef's Notes: "I was so excited to see one of my favorite meals with a fun addition entered into our competition! Freshly sliced peaches (or nectarines) in a caprese? Yes please! Hayley suggested using our Meyer Lemon Olive Oil and Traditional Balsamic Vinegar drizzled over fresh heirloom tomatoes, mozzarella and basil, with a pinch of sea salt. There were NO leftovers in my home for this one."
