Mozzarella Salad with Peaches
4 servings
30 minutes
Mozzarella and peach salad is a refined combination of soft cheese, sweet fruits, and savory ham, creating a harmony of flavors and textures. Although this recipe is attributed to Russian cuisine, its inspiration clearly stems from Mediterranean tradition. The refreshing green salad complements the softness of mozzarella, while ripe peaches add juicy sweetness that contrasts with the saltiness of Parma ham. Basil adds a light aroma, and lemon juice and olive oil unite all components into a single composition. This salad is perfect for summer days – light yet rich, it works well as a standalone dish or an elegant appetizer for the main dinner.
