Instructions

Prepare the salad

  1. Step 1: Halve the peaches and remove the stones. Cut each half in half again. If the peaches are very large, cut each half into thirds.

  2. Step 2: Combine the dressing ingredients in a jar and shake well.

  3. Step 3: Toss the rocket with about 2 tablespoons of dressing.

  4. Step 4: Tear the mozzarella into pieces.

  5. Step 5: Arrange the rocket, peaches and mozzarella on a large plate or platter. Drape the prosciutto around the salad. Drizzle the remaining oil over the salad and serve.

Notes

Ingredient swaps

Nectarines work in place of peaches. Use bocconcini if buffalo or cow’s milk mozzarella is unavailable. Jamon serrano can replace prosciutto; for a meat-free option, use sliced marinated artichokes. Thinly sliced pancetta, coppa or capocollo, and bresaola are other cold-cut alternatives.
