This is another quick summer recipe, with no heat needed. Yet, this salad is nothing boring.
It’s basically a simple Caprese salad ; tomatoes, mozzarella, olive oil, salt and basil, what more do you need ?
Well, nothing really, but a bit of nectarines & shallots bring a slight sweetness and a crunchy twist.
Tomatoes, mozzarella & nectarine Salad – Recipe
Ingredients – Advice & key points
- As always, with recipes as simple as these, I recommend your focus to be on the ingredients’ quality. If you do, it instantly becomes a top-notch dish. I would buy :
- in-season, quality tomatoes, such as Beef Heart tomatoes, Crimean Black tomatoes, or Green Zebra tomatoes ;
- some decent Mozarella. I adore Mozzarella di Bufala, made out of buffalo milk instead of cow’s milk for the Mozzarella Fior di Latte ; its texture is creamy and soft, more delicate than the Fior di Latte which is on the firmer side ;
- Also, to make the perfect salad, don’t forget :
- to season everything properly with enough salt and pepper, and ;
- ideally, to drizzle your salad with a quality olive oil, which is great to have around, in particular for all your uncooked dishes !
