This Chopped Peach Caprese Salad is the perfect bridge between crisp spring days and that easy summer vibe. Sweet peaches, ripe cherry tomatoes, fragrant basil, and creamy mozzarella pearls come together with a honey-balsamic dressing that’s as bright as the season itself.

Whether you’re brunching al fresco, meal prepping for the week, or just craving something light and flavorful, this one hits all the right notes.
