Like Missy mentioned in her comment, I'm pretty boring with salads. Anyone who knows me, knows salad = a variation of spinach, pears, walnuts and blue cheese. Sometimes when I'm feeling really crazy, I mix it up with a kale salad. Needless to say, Curtis was pretty happy last night when "salad" meant something new: peaches, mozzarella and basil. It was super quick, easy and summery! And really delicious.

Peach, Mozzarella, and Basil Salad

from Real Simple

Ingredients

• 3 ripe peaches (peeled, if desired)
• 1 cup fresh basil leaves, torn
• 8 ounces fresh mozzarella, cut into 1-inch chunks
• 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
• 
  

Directions

1. Cut each peach into 6 to 8 wedges, then cut each wedge in half crosswise.
2. In a large bowl, combine the peaches, basil, and mozzarella. Drizzle with the oil, sprinkle with the salt and pepper, and toss. (You can cover and refrigerate the salad for up to several hours.) Serve cold or at room temperature.
