Ingredients Used for making Peach Tomato and Mozzarella Salad:

The key to crafting this tomato and mozzarella salad lies in the freshness of the ingredients. Heirloom tomatoes, firm yet juicy within, ripe and sweet peaches, and crisp, fresh greens come together harmoniously, creating a delightful balance of flavour and texture that’s challenging to replicate! Despite its resemblance to a traditional caprese salad, the additional ingredients make a significant difference! Grilling enhances the sweetness of the peaches, rendering them an ideal complement to the juicy tomatoes and crunchy spinach. Meanwhile, the avocado and gem lettuce offer contrasting textures that blend together seamlessly!

The dressing:

The dressing on this salad is one which is both simple and utterly delicious. Dill is a herb known for its characteristic green, delicate feathery leaves with yellow and white flowers. Dill itself has quite a mild and warm flavour with a sour, clean taste which heightens the rest of the ingredients in the dressing. We get a slight acidity from the lime, and extra richness with the mustard and dill combining to make this delicious dressing. Not only is it great with this salad, it is a perfect dressing to make extra for other uses! It can even just be tossed with some leafy greens and eaten as a light lunch!

Perfect as a light lunch or appetiser, this salad is perfect to make whenever you have the fresh ingredients!
