Ingredients
6 oz fresh arugula
1 tsp balsamic vinegar
1 tsp Dijon mustard
8 oz fresh mozzarella, sliced into 1/3-inch-thick slices
1 tsp honey
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
3 fresh peaches, sliced into 1/2-inch-thick half moons
2 tbsp balsamic glaze
salt
black pepper
Directions
Slice the peaches along the pit, then cut each half into 1/2-inch-thick half moons. Optionally peel the peach slices for a more refined presentation.
Cut the fresh mozzarella into 1/3-inch-thick slices.
In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, and olive oil until well combined. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
Place the arugula in a large mixing bowl and drizzle the dressing over it. Toss gently until the leaves are lightly coated.
Divide the dressed arugula between two plates, placing it in the center of each.
Arrange the peach slices and mozzarella slices alternately around the outer edge of each plate in a circle.
Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the peaches and mozzarella. Season the entire salad with additional salt and black pepper to taste before serving.
Comments
All ingredients are standard stock at any Charlotte grocer—arugula and fresh peaches are reliably available at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, and Kroger year-round, and fresh mozzarella is stocked everywhere. The cost per serving is low, perhaps $4–$5 total for two, driven mainly by the mozzarella; peaches at $1–$2 per pound keep it modest. The stated 45 minutes is misleading—this is a 10-minute assembly once you have a ripe peach; the padding likely assumes time to shop or chill. It's a light summer plate that works for a quick weeknight dinner but won't satisfy hearty eaters, and while it reheats poorly (arugula wilts, mozzarella hardens), it's designed to eat the same night and comes together too fast to matter.
