The combination of sweet, grilled peaches, fresh basil, creamy ricotta cheese, and tangy balsamic vinegar creates a harmonious blend of flavors that is sure to impress your guests.

Ingredients:

1 peach
150g
1 cup basil leaves
6g
1 cup ricotta cheese
250g
2 tbsp vinegar
33g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Wash and dry the peach and basil leaves.
- Cut the peach into 6-8 wedges, discarding the pit.
2. Grill the Peaches:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Lightly oil the grill grates or use a grilling basket to prevent sticking.
- Place the peach wedges on the grill.
- Grill the peaches for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they have nice grill marks and are slightly softened.
- Remove the grilled peaches from the grill and set them aside to cool slightly.
3. Assemble the Salad:
- On a serving platter or individual salad plates, arrange the grilled peach wedges.
- Scatter the fresh basil leaves over the peach wedges.
- Using a spoon, dollop small amounts of ricotta cheese evenly over the peaches and basil.
4. Drizzle with Balsamic Vinegar:
- Finally, drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the entire salad. Make sure to distribute it evenly for a balanced flavor.
5. Serve and Enjoy:
- This salad is best served immediately while the peaches are still warm and the flavors are vibrant.
- Enjoy it as a refreshing appetizer or a light, summery main dish.

Tips:

- Choose ripe, but firm peaches for grilling to ensure they hold their shape and caramelize nicely.

- Fresh basil leaves are essential for this recipe; avoid using dried basil as it won't provide the same flavor or freshness.

- Use high-quality ricotta cheese for the best texture and taste.

- Grill the peaches over medium heat to avoid burning them; they should have nice grill marks and be slightly softened.

- Allow the grilled peaches to cool slightly before assembling the salad to prevent the ricotta from melting.

- For added flavor, consider reducing the balsamic vinegar to a syrupy consistency before drizzling it over the salad.

Grilled Peach Caprese Salad with Balsamic Vinegar is a refreshing and elegant dish that is both easy to make and full of flavor. The grilled peaches add a unique sweetness that perfectly complements the creamy ricotta and fresh basil. Finish it off with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar for a touch of tanginess, and you'll have a dish that not only looks beautiful but also tastes incredible.
