This is a scrumptious salad I only make when the peaches are in season and cheap. It could go very well as part of a Christmas banquet. From the book Fresh + Fast.
This time I have used white peaches, but it works very well with yellow ones too, or even a mixture of both. I have also used rocket and baby spinach and bocconcini.
INGREDIENTS:
4 small ripe peaches
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar or finishing vinegar
1 buffalo mozzarella cheese or bocconcini
100g (2 1/4 cups) baby rocket leaves
250g leg ham, finely sliced off the bone
40g (1/3 cup) pecans, roughly chopped
METHOD
Halve the peaches and remove the skin before slicing them into a bowl. (I don't bother to peel them!!)
Tear the mozzarella into bite-size pieces. Arrange the rocket on a serving platter and top with the leg ham and mozzarella. Add the peaches and pecans.
Add the olive oil and season lightly with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Drizzle with the balsamic vinegar.
Serves 4
