INGREDIENTS
3 ripe peaches, sliced into wedges
3 (4-ounce) pieces fresh mozzarella
½ cup extra virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
1 pound baby arugula, washed & dried
¼ cup balsamic vinegar
Maldon or another flaky sea salt, to taste
STEPS
Preheat a grill pan or cast iron pan over high heat. Toss the peach slices with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and place them on the grill pan, cut side down, just long enough to get some grill marks on the cut side.
Cut the pieces of mozzarella in half and place one half on each plate. Divide the peach wedges among the 6 plates and arrange them on the plates with the mozzarella.
Toss the arugula with the extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and salt, to taste, and add it to plate along with peaches and mozzarella. Season with Maldon salt, to taste and serve immediately.
Buon appetito!
