This peach avocado caprese salad combines all the best of summer produce - tomatoes, peaches, avocado and basil with fresh mozzarella for a loaded version of the classic summer caprese. (gluten-free, nut-free, vegetarian)

My love runs deep for caprese salads. Especially in the summer when tomatoes are perfectly ripe and flavorful and my basil plants are thriving. There's nothing more perfect for summer than easy, delicious caprese!

What Is Caprese?

Caprese (pronounced "cah-preh-zseh") is a simple Italian salad made of sliced fresh tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and basil with olive oil, salt and sometimes balsamic vinegar. It's usually served arranged or stacked on a plate.
