Ingredients

  • 4 nectarines cut into large slices
  • 8 oz whole mozzarella sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
  • Generous sprinkle of flaky sea salt

Instructions

  • Prepare grill to medium heat. Make sure to thoroughly clean the grill before grilling the nectarines. I recommend using a grill brush such as this to ensure the grill is nice and clean before getting started.
  • Grill nectarine slices until grill marks are visible for about 2-3 minutes per side, flipping them with tongs to ensure both sides are grilled evenly. Carefully remove from grill.
  • Assemble the caprese salad by placing alternating layers of grilled nectarine and sliced mozzarella.
  • Sprinkle the fresh basil over the nectarine and mozz, and then drizzle the olive oil and balsamic glaze over the salad.
  • Finally, sprinkle flaky salt over the salad. Serve immediately.
