Grilled peach, Parma ham and blue cheese salad with a Peppadew dressing

Serves: 4
Cooking Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

  • Dressing
  • 40g mild Peppadews, finely chopped
  • 5ml (1 tsp) Dijon mustard
  • 5ml (1 tsp) red wine vinegar
  • zest of 1 orange
  • juice of 2 oranges
  • 60ml (¼ cup) olive oil
  • Salad
  • 4 peaches, halved
  • 50g rocket leaves
  • 180g (12 slices) Parma ham
  • 200g blue cheese
  • slices of grilled bread, to serve

Instructions

1

For the dressing, whisk everything together while slowly pouring in the olive oil in a thin, steady stream.

2

For the salad, heat a griddle pan until smoking hot. Grill the peaches, fleshside down, until charred and tender. Scatter the rocket into a salad bowl. Add the grilled peaches and Parma ham slices. Crumble in the blue cheese and drizzle the dressing over the top. Serve with a side of grilled bread.

Notes

For a fun alternative, wrap the Parma ham slices around the halved peaches. Grill in a hot oven for 5 – 6 minutes until the ham has crisped up.
