Michelin starred chef, Steve Drake has produced a deliciously light lunch recipe, peach and Parma ham salad, ideally served with some crusty bread and a nice glass of chilled sauvignon blanc from the Loire.
Ingredients
- 4 slices Parma ham
- 4 ripe peaches
- 3-4 handfuls of salad leaves
- Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp toasted poppy seeds
- 20g whole grain mustard
- 30ml white wine vinegar
- 80ml olive oil 100ml peach juice
- 20ml basil infused oil 3 basil leaves
Method
This is a great dish to serve on those super-hot sunny days. Most of the preparation can be done in advance.
First make the dressing by mixing the mustard, vinegar, salt, basil and oils, with the peach juice in a bowl. Give it a good whisk to emulsify.
Start by taking a large plate or serving dish and spread out the leaves.
Take the Parma ham, tear into a few pieces and lay across the leaves.
Cut the peaches into thick wedges and add to the plate.
Sprinkle with toasted poppy seeds and grate over lots of parmesan cheese.
Finally spoon over the dressing just before serving.
Tips
The dressing is more than enough and will keep well in a jar in the fridge (just give it a good shake before using).
If you’re preparing this in advance, leave the dressing until the end. However, if it’s going to be eaten immediately, then it’s nice to dress the leaves before laying out on the plate.
The ham will be much tastier at room temperature.
If you cannot get peaches, nectarines are a great replacement.
You can vary the ingredients - for example, pear, blue cheese and toasted walnuts are a delicious alternative.
