- Cooking Method: Grilling, Mixing
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Cook Time: 10 minutes
- Cuisine: Fusion, Italian-Inspired
Ingredients
- 4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 8 ounces fresh mozzarella, sliced
- 1 rotisserie chicken, shredded
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
Cooking Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high. If you don’t have a grill, a grill pan works just fine. (It’s all about that char!)
- Brush the peach halves with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. If you heard a tiny peach cheer, you did it right.
- Grill the peaches, cut side down, for 4-5 minutes, until they have lovely grill marks and are slightly tender. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes. Set aside to cool, then slice into wedges.
- On a large platter, arrange the shredded rotisserie chicken, sliced mozzarella, and halved cherry tomatoes. Feel free to artistically scatter them or just plop them down. Either way, it’ll be fabulous.
- Add the grilled peach wedges to the platter. Nestle them in like they’ve always belonged there.
- Sprinkle the fresh basil leaves over the salad. (Tear them up a bit if you’re feeling rustic.)
- Drizzle the balsamic glaze artistically over the salad. Think of yourself as Jackson Pollock but with fewer splatters on your apron.
- Taste and add more salt and pepper if needed. Serve immediately and impress everyone with your culinary prowess.
Suggestions
- Alternative Ingredients: Try nectarines if peaches are not in season, or swap mozzarella with burrata for extra creaminess.
- Garnishing Options: Add a sprinkle of toasted pine nuts for crunch or a handful of arugula for a peppery bite.
- Cooking Tips: Ensure peaches are ripe but firm for easier grilling. Fresh, high-quality ingredients will shine in this simple dish.
