Peach Basil and Fresh Mozzarella Salad

I know, I know...it sounds really weird. But trust me-it's amazingly good. Shockingly good, really. And super simple. If you have an abundance of peaches and basil, this is the side dish for you.

I doubled the recipe I found on-line, so you may want to make a smaller batch. I'd say this makes 6-8 decent sized servings.

6 ripe peaches, cut into bite size pieces
1-2 cups basil, torn into pieces
8 oz fresh mozzarella, cubed
1-2 TBS olive oil
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 pepper

I didn't peel the peaches, but you could if you don't appreciate the fuzziness. Amounts certainly don't need to be exact. Just throw the ingredients together right before serving.

I don't know if this will keep well. We did not have any leftover, but I imagine that it would not stand the test of time in the fridge. I'd plan on only making as much as you think will be eaten.

Enjoy!

New Kitchen, No New Recipes

For the last few weeks we've been redoing our kitchen. That means I have been unable to cook. It's difficult to create new things when your kitchen is in your living room. I just got most things moved back in a few days ago, so hopefully, there will be something new to read here soon. Hang tight.
