Ingredients
Vinaigrette
3 tbsp — extra virgin olive oil
3 tbsp — white balsamic vinegar
¼ tsp — garlic, minced
Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste
Salad
2 — peaches
2 cups — Moxie tomatoes
½ cup — bocconcini cheese
8 — fresh basil leaves
Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste
Instructions
Whisk the olive oil, white balsamic vinegar and garlic together to make the vinaigrette. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper and set aside.
Slice the peaches into ¼ inch wedges, leaving the skin on. Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and julienne half the basil. Drain the bocconcini.
Add the B.C. peaches, tomatoes and bocconcini to a bowl and season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper. Add the julienned basil and gently toss with the vinaigrette. Arrange the salad on a platter and garnish with the remaining basil leaves.
Let the dish come to room temperature before serving so the cheese is soft and the peaches and tomatoes absorb the dressing.
