Peach and Mozzarella Salad With Orange, Basil, and Poppy Seed Dressing

Who doesn't love a ripe, juicy, sweet as candy peach? Sardegna has the best peaches of all the land- I might be partial. In Italy it is custom to eat fruit after every meal. Whatever fruit is in season that time of year is served after the meal. In the summer time you find local peaches, figs, cherries, apricots, and grapes. We make weekly trips to the orchards nearby and get cases of peaches that go like hotcakes with our big family To this day my zio Peppo (Guiseppe) is famous for his peach peeling (generally, Italians don't like fruit with the peel) and cutting skills. Even at my age I still love a freshly prepared peach from him. It's not that I can't do it myself, obviously, it's the love and desire he shows when he does it for me. When I eat that peach, I feel his desire to nourish my heart and show his love. It's a simple gesture that goes beyond giving someone food. That's the Italian way- spreading love through food. This recipe makes enough to feed a crowd. If you want to make a smaller batch: half the recipe of peaches and mozzarella and use half of the dressing (do not half the dressing recipe just use less on the salad).Made with Amore,Elena
