Heirloom Tomato & Peach Caprese Salad

Despite loving both, peaches and tomatoes are something I never would have thought to put together, but when I stumbled upon this recipe by Brandon at Kitchen Konfidence, I figured I had to give it a whirl.  Talk about quintessential summer fare!   It’s sweet and savory, and well, amazing.  Done in about three minutes, this Caprese is also a snap.  That’s my kind recipe!

I modified my version a tad -- used white balsamic and a bit of sugar -- and am looking forward to trying a few other combinations.  The dijon mustard sounds like a great addition, but we were fresh out.

Now I’m going to open a bottle of cheap Italian wine, whip up a second batch, and pretend I’m in Capri.  Mangia bene!
