Ingredients

(This is very much a "personal taste" recipe, so I haven't given quantities for the ingredients)

Baby asparagus spears
Fresh peaches
Slices of prosciutto (Parma ham)
Mozzarella
Fresh raspberries
Olive oil
White wine vinegar
Salad leaves
Drizzle framboise syrup (optional)

Handy Hint

This is fantastic as a summer lunch, and also works well as a special starter.

Method

1. Simmer the asparagus in some salted water until just tender. Drain, and place aside.
2. Halve and thickly slice the peaches. Oil a ridged griddle pan and fry the peaches on each side until they have charred lines.
3. Tear the prosciutto slices into small strips. Similarly, tear the mozzarella into bite-size pieces.
4. Make the dressing by whisking the oil and vinegar together. I use three parts olive oil to one part vinegar - and adding a drizzle of the framboise if you want. You can also pop in a few crushed fresh raspberries and shake thoroughly.
5 Assemble the salad! Place the leaves in a bowl, and scatter over the raspberries, peach slices, prosciutto strips, mozzarella pieces and warm asparagus over the top. Drizzle the dressing over the whole lot and toss together gently.
