When summer is at its height and the peaches are so ripe that you can smell their sweet aroma just by walking by, it's time for this bright salad—a fun twist on the traditional Caprese salad of mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil. This version is really lovely, both from a flavor and visual standpoint, and it comes together in minutes. Just be sure to allow some time for everything to get nice and chilled. First things first: Seek out the best mozzarella you can for the salad. If there's a market close to you that makes it fresh, that's fantastic, but very good mozzarella can be found at your local grocery store. For salads, I like the type packed in water best.
