Ingredients
2-3 ripe peaches depending on size
4-8 heritage tomatoes depending on size
2 balls of buffalo mozzarella
8-12 leaves of basil or mint
flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
For the dressing:
2 tbsp of lemon juice or mild white wine vinegar such as Forum
8 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp honey
salt and pepper
Method
Slice the peaches off the stone – you will get 8 pieces approx. from each fruit and place in a large low-sided bowl. Cut the heritage tomatoes into similar chunky pieces as the nectarines and add to the bowl.
Tear each piece of buffalo mozzarella into 4 pieces and add to the bowl. Season with flaky salt and freshly ground pepper.
Whisk the dressing ingredients together, taste and correct the seasoning.
Tear the herbs on to the fruit and cheese and add the dressing. Stir and mix gently, being careful not to break up the fruit.
Place on a large platter or individual plates and serve immediately, garnishing with a few more mint or basil leaves if you have them to spare.
