Paso Robles Olive Festival Pits Peaches Against Mozzarella!

In honor of the Paso Robles Olive Festival that's happening this Saturday, August 25th from 10am – 5pm, in downtown Paso I uploaded this recipe from our friends, the Kahan family, at Vineyard Canyon Ranch Olive Oil. And it sound like a tasty combination for any summer time occasion.

Fresh Peach and Mozzarella Salad

4 ripe white peaches sliced

8 oz. fresh Mozzarella (I used the small balls)

1 Cup fresh chopped basil

Kosher Salt (I used Sea Salt)

Pepper to taste

2-3 Tbsp. Vineyard Canyon Ranch Olive Oil (I used the Gold Blend but any of our blends will do)

Mix together first 5 ingredients and then drizzle with Olive Oil. Let sit for an hour or so at room temp or the fridge before serving.

What a fantastic, yet simple, little recipe. The sweet peaches add great contrast to the saltiness. And, the basil finishes the dish, adding wonderful color, aroma, and flavor.
