Peach Caprese Salad in a Jar

This salad combines the delicious flavor of traditional caprese with fresh peaches. The arugula and fresh basil make it taste very fresh and flavorful.

If you are picky about the texture of your peaches, you may treat this ingredient like avocado and only add it to the first couple of salads. Later in the week, you can cut up more peach and throw in the top of the salad for those remaining.
