Summer Peach Fresh Mozzarella Salad
Description
This salad features a mix of seasonal stone fruits—peach, nectarine, and plum—sliced and combined with fresh mozzarella and mixed greens such as arugula or romaine. The addition of almonds caramelized with sugar provides a crunchy, sweet texture that contrasts with the soft cheese and juicy fruit.
The honey vinaigrette, made from olive oil, white wine vinegar (or balsamic), honey, and salt, dresses the salad, tying together the sweet and savory components with a gentle acidity and subtle sweetness that complements the fresh ingredients.
Enjoy this salad as a light entrée or a refreshing side dish, perfect for summer meals. Optional seasoning of sea salt on the mozzarella enhances its flavor.
Ingredients
- 5 ounces mixed greens or Romaine or Arugula

- 2 Tablespoons honey
- 1/2 - 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Heat small saucepan over medium heat. Add almonds and sugar and let sugar melt and dissolve over almonds, stirring often. Once coated, remove from heat and place on waxed paper. Spread out so the almonds don't clump together.
