What do I need?
- Nectarines– these are in peak season during summer! The best time to grab them. White or yellow nectarines will work. You can substitute peaches if you’d prefer.
- Basil– fresh basil leaves.
- Mozzarella Cheese– fresh and sliced, or substitute burrata.
- Prosciutto– The saltiness is the perfect compliment to the sweet fruit. You’ll want this thinly sliced.
- Balsamic glaze– I used store bought just because it’s so convenient; you can make it at home by boiling balsamic vinegar until it’s reduced to a syrup consistency.
- Olive oil
- Seasonings– just salt and pepper to taste (I love these salt and pepper grinders for a salad like this)
- Cutting board, sharp knives
How to make Caprese Salad with Nectarines and Prosciutto
- Thinly slice the nectarines and mozzarella cheese
- Cut the prosciutto and basil into ribbons
- Assemble on a large serving platter alternating nectarines, mozzarella, and prosciutto. There’s no wrong way to do this, be as creative as you want!
- Sprinkle over the basil, add salt and pepper to taste.
- Drizzle olive oil and balsamic glaze over the entire plate. Enjoy!
Keeps fresh in the fridge, covered, for 2-3 days. I would recommend assembling the salad just before serving it for optimal freshness.
