Peaches/ Tomatoes/ Mozzarella/ Basil Summer Salad
Peaches/Tomatoes/Mozzarella/Basil Summer Salad
2-3 peaches, in thin slices
1 Medium or two small tomatoes, in thin slices, or as many as you like, really
1/2 small red onion, in thin slices
Olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon
1 tsp kosher salt
2 Tablespoons olive oil
A few grinds of coarse black pepper
Fresh mozzarella slices
Several fresh basil leaves
Slice the red onion and place in a bowl with water, and put the bowl in the fridge to chill.
Slice the peaches and tomatoes into thin slices.
Juice a lemon and whisk in 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of kosher salt and a grind of black pepper.
Drain the red onions and add to the peaches and tomatoes in a bowl. Pour the dressing over them and let it all marinate while you do other things. The fruit will release a lot of juice the longer it sits! You could use less dressing, or just enjoy the juice.
Create a chiffonade by rolling the leaves of basil together and slicing into thin ribbons
To serve, add fresh mozzarella to the bowl and sprinkle the ribbons of basil over the top.
