A Salad for a Picnic

This might be one of my all time favourite ‘salads’. I call it a salad loosely because I’m not entirely sure it qualifies as one - but it does have all of my favourite things in it so I will continue to eat it and call it so. It’s fairly robust so travels well if need be. Will serve 2 alone as a Summer lunch with a good chunk of sourdough.

Serves 4 as part of a spread

Ingredients:
60g rocket
1 ball of mozzarella (125g)
40-50g of prosciutto 
1 nectarine
4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
Salt

Method:

  1. Tear up the mozzarella and prosciutto and drape onto the bed of rocket, slice the nectarine into thin wedges and scatter across.

  2. Dress the salad with olive oil and a little balsamic vinegar. Season with a little sea salt, not being too heavy handed, the prosciutto will already bring a nice saltiness to the dish.
