Recipe notes:
Peaches: It's important to purchase nice, ripe peaches for this recipe so they'll be sweet! Tomatoes: I use cherry tomatoes which have the best flavor, in my opinion. Grape tomatoes also work. You can chop up larger varieties as well (garden tomatoes, heirloom tomatoes, beefsteak tomatoes, etc). Mozzarella: I use a full, 8oz pack of mini mozzarella pearls for this recipe! You can also buy a large ball of fresh mozzarella and cut or tear it into smaller pieces.Instructions

Storing leftovers:
- Refrigerate leftover salad in an airtight container for 2-3 days. I do not recommend freezing this salad as it will become mushy once thawed.
