At the height of summer it’s hard to turn down a sweet juicy peach, but how about adding it to everyone’s favourite Italian salad? The fruit amplifies the saltiness of the cheese and the sweetness of the tomatoes, with avocado adding creamy colour. It makes a gorgeous healthy meal in itself, or serve alongside roast chicken and crusty bread when entertaining.

Method

Slice the peach into wedges and chop the tomatoes and avocado into bite-size pieces, putting everything in a serving bowl.
Tear the mozzarella into pieces or put it in the centre of the salad as a whole ball, then tear the basil leaves and arrange them on top. Dress with the olive oil, vinegar and a good amount of cracked black pepper and salt flakes.
