- 2 peaches stoned, sliced
- ½ cup English cucumber diced or sliced
- 1 ball fresh mozzarella torn into small pieces
- ½ cup arugula
- 1 cup pasta
- ¼ cup fresh basil leaves
For the basil dressing
- 3 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or white distilled vinegar
- ¼ cup basil leaves diced
- 1 teaspoon honey
- ½ garlic clove minced or finely diced
- pinch salt
- pinch black pepper optional
De-stone the peaches and slice into small pieces. Dice the English cucumber, tear the basil leaves and tear the mozzarella ball into small pieces.
Cook your pasta according to package instructions in salted water. Drain, then set aside to cool.
Whisk together extra virgin olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, minced garlic, diced basil leaves, salt and optional black pepper.
Combine the cheese, fruit, veggies, herbs and pasta, then toss through the basil dressing to serve.
- Make sure to use sweet juicy fresh peaches for the best flavor!
- I like to use orzo, but you can also use fusilli or bow-tie pasta.
- English cucumber doesn't need to be peeled, but you can do to preference.
