Nectarine & Mozzarella Salad

This is a lovely light salad for lazy summer days when you don’t feel like something heavy or what to waste a minute inside away from the sun! Works great on its own as a sharing starter plate, add some grilled chicken as a lunch option or simply as a side for a BBQ.

• 2 ripe nectarines
• 2 fresh mozzarella balls, strained
• 5-6 fresh basil leaves
• 2 tsp balsamic vinegar
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp honey

1. Simply de-stone the nectarines, slice into segments and place around the outer edge of a large plate.
2. Slice the strained mozzarella into even rounds and add to the centre of the plate.
3. Gently tear the basil leaves in half and scatter over the plate.
4. For the dressing, mix the remaining ingredients together until it thickens and using a spoon lightly drizzle over the plate.
