Grilled Peach Caprese Salad with Balsamic Vinegar is a delightful twist on the classic caprese, perfect for summer gatherings or a light appetizer. 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.
Instructions:
- Wash and dry the peach and basil leaves.
- Cut the peach into 6-8 wedges, discarding the pit.
- 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.
- 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.
- Finally, drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the entire salad. Make sure to distribute it evenly for a balanced flavor.
- 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.
