mozzarella, peach, basil and parma ham salad

Despite HardPeachGate last time, once again I'm inspired by the continuing offer of two lots of cured meat for £3 at the supermarket, combined with a sudden burst of clement weather, to give the mozzarella salad another spin.

However, once bitten and I opt for perfectly ripe nectarines as the peaches seemed a bit cannonbally. Oh, and for parma ham read prosciutto crudo, cos it's cheaper...

Honestly, it tastes better than it looks. There is definitely some nectarine and mozzarella somewhere under the spinach. However once again the Peach family Gods aim a firm kick towards mine (and ana's metaphorical) cobblers, as the nectarines are on the wrong side of firm.

I remember having this on the lawn at Hampton Court after a boat trip from Richmond on our anniversary the year we got married. Ahh, happy days!

  1. for those of us that didnt start buying Delicious until 2006, could you provide a lovely recipe for this? I am prepared to give peaches/nectarines a thoroughly good going over before purchasing in the hope I can create something yumtastic!
