Ingredients
4nectarinescut into large slices
8ozwhole mozzarellasliced
2tablespoonsfresh basilthinly sliced
1tablespoonsextra virgin olive oil
1tablespoonbalsamic 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.
