Peach Basil Salad

This peach basil salad is, hands down, one of my favourite recipes. It is fresh, crisp, and simple. There are a few recipes I go back to time and time again when I am in a pinch and this is one of them! The salad is perfect to pair with light pasta, other simple salads, roasted vegetables, fish and much more. Peaches are one of those versatile fruits that can be served sweet or savoury.

2 peaches
6-9 mini bocconcini
6-9 basil leaves
pinch sea salt

Dressing

2 teaspoons anchovy paste
2 teaspoons rice wine vinegar
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 tablespoon oilve oil

Instructions

Wash and scrub peaches to remove hair, then pat dry. With a sharp knife, cut the peach in half to remove the pit. Continue to slice the peach so you have half-inch slices. Arrange on a plate or serving dish. Add your bocconcini around the dish as well as basil.
Add anchovy paste, rice wine vinegar, lemon juice, and olive oil to a jar with a lid. Shake the jar for 5-10 seconds to fully emulsify. Pour over salad to your liking with flaked sea salt and it is ready to serve. Optionally, add some fresh lemon zest.
This salad lasts in the fridge for 2-3 days in an air-tight container or covered with cling wrap.
