Peach, prosciutto and mozzarella salad...adulterated via SMH from When I Get Home by Matt Moran

What an easy little salad!  Perfectly delicious to throw together on a hot summer’s night. You can have it as entrée or as salad as the main event. If you serve it with fish as a side dish you can always ditch the prosciutto and just mix the peaches, mint, mozzarella. It’s about the mix of simple flavours.  I have added a little touch of lemon rind to add a tangy taste. Matt says to blanch and then skin the peaches. I say I can’t be bothered.

You need for 4 fashionista or 2 hungry surfers or 20 models

20ml extra virgin olive oil
20ml balsamic vinegar
Salt and pepper
2 ripe yellow peaches
1 handful rocket
¼ bunch mint, leaves picked
2 buffalo mozzarella balls, cut into 12 pieces
4 slices prosciutto, torn into pieces
Lemon rind sprinkled over it.

  • Slip into your fav Pucci caftan.
  • Climb out Chloe wedges and slide into Hermes toe thongs.
  • Pour a huge gin and tonic.
  • Inhale.
  • Pull out the chicest white platter.
  • Now chop up the peaches. You can blanch and then peal them if you have the time. Or ask George Clooney to do it.
  • Tear up the mozzarella or bocconcini and toss on.
  • Sprinkle over the rocket.
  • Ask George Clooney to head out to the kitchen garden to snip a small bunch of mint leaves. He loves that.
  • Add the mint to the platter.
  • Zest some lemons to sprinkle over the salad.
  • Throw on the prosciutto so it drapes itself over the salad. Think Donna Karan A/W 2011.
  • Make the salad dressing and drizzle it over the salad.
  • Season it baby. That’s the secret.
  • Chic!
