Peach, Tomato and Mozzarella Salad

This was inspired by a Stephanie Izard recipe I found in the Wall Street Journal. My peach tree was bursting so I made a few substitutions and created this version. It was a huge hit at my mid-summer dinner party! And you can easily double the recipe. But be sure to serve it plated while the bread is still warm.
