Sweet and juicy peach slices are grilled then presented on a large platter with fresh mozzarella cheese, gorgeous in-season herbs, and salty prosciutto, then drizzled with a warm thyme-infused honey for a delicious twist on a classic caprese salad. With such simple ingredients, this grilled peach caprese salad is a favorite on warm summer nights.

Ingredients

- olive oil or butter for brushing on peaches
Caprese Salad
- 3 yellow peaches sliced
- Grilled peach slices
- 8 ounces fresh mozzarella sliced
- fresh basil leaves whole
- 3 ounces prosciutto crudo slices torn

Instructions
- Grilled Peaches Instructions
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium high heat and brush the grates with fat.
- Grill the half of peaches for 2-3 minutes or until light char marks appear, flip and grill another 2-3 minutes. Set the grilled peach slices aside on a plate.
- Making Thyme Infused Honey
- In a small saucepan, warm the thyme sprigs and honey over low heat for 5 minutes.
- Remove the honey from heat and pour into a heat-resistant container.
- Building the Peach Caprese Salad
- On a large platter, arrange the grilled peach slices, remaining raw peach slices, fresh basil leaves, mozzarella slices, and prosciutto.
- Dapple a little extra virgin olive oil over the caprese salad, sprinkle with flaky salt, and give a drizzle of the infused honey.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- A great way to find juicy peaches at the farm stand is to look for large peaches that are firm, a little heavy for their size (that means they're juicy!) and give off a sweet, peachy smell. The ripe fruit are very fragrant.
- Make sure they're bruise-free, bruises are a purple-ish brown with somewhat wrinkled skin from the flesh decomposing.
- Stay away from peaches that are still green or lighter yellow. You want beautiful golden peaches with a peachy-pink blush!
- If your garden is just bursting with delicious ripe tomatoes, add them! I love layering wedges or slices of juicy heirloom tomatoes or even cherry tomatoes with my summer salads!
- Try tearing creamy burrata into the salad and serving it with a little olive oil for a seriously creamy and decadent dish.
- I know how y'all are about your balsamic! Don't be shy drizzling a little balsamic glaze over just like a traditional caprese salad
- Use buffalo mozzarella for a stronger mozzarella flavor.
