Easy Peach Caprese Salad for End of Summer

The end of summer is prime stone fruit season. I just love a good, ripe peach that you can eat straight from the grocery store or farmer’s market. Today I’m sharing an easy peach caprese salad you can pull together in minutes.

This peach caprese salad is from the Magnolia Table Volume 1 cookbook, and was the first recipe I tried from Joanna Gaines. It’s an easy weeknight salad as a side for a family, or as the main dish for two people. You can also throw this together for an easy lunch, too!

It’s super simple, with a few fresh ingredients, and you can use the extra dressing later in the week for another salad.
