simple, use the best of summers produce to let the flavors shine!
Keep the tomatoes at room
temperature for the best flavor.
To check the ripeness of peach or
nectarine, give the fruit a gently squeeze. if it feels too hard, it’s not ripe
enough. But if there is a little give, then the fruit is ready.
Have fun with the substitutions,
use blackberries or raspberries instead of strawberries or use cherries instead
of the peaches.
If making the fruit caprese salad
ahead of time, arrange fruit and mozzarella on platter but dress with oil and
vinegar right before serving.
