Sasha's Kitchen: Peach, Mozzarella & Bresaola Salad


As i discussed in my recipe for Peach Cobbler, peaches are my favorite summer fruit.  The peach is very versatile, and of course, my favorite summer salad recipe includes peaches.  This salad is a dinner salad - it includes my favorite cured meat, bresaola, which is a type of cured beef.  I think that the taste of the bresaola is lovely with fresh peaches and baby bocconcini, a type of mozzarella cheese.  The salad is very refreshing and perfect for summer.  You can make it without the meat as an appetizer if you prefer. I love the farmer's market peaches - this is the perfect dish for summer and I've been waiting for months to get nice fresh peaches to make this dish, which is one of my favorites!  This recipe is totally mine, but it feels very Jamie Oliver, doesn't it?



Sasha's Summer Peach Salad (makes two salads)
2 farmers' market peaches, sliced 
8-10 pieces of bresaola
fresh organic salad greens
1/3 cup canola oil (for dressing)
3 tablespoons lemon juice (for dressing)
1 T red wine vinegar (for dressing)
bocconcini mozzarella


Assemble the salad ingredients above and top with the lemon vinaigrette (which is just canola oil, lemon juice and red wine vinegar).  This is a very special way to showcase those fantastic June peaches!
