A light bank holiday lunch with a Peach and Mozzarella Salad

Today we had lunch with a guest... the remit was a light salad lunch! Not an easy task for us butter lovers. So in this instance we have had to fall back on butters' favourite friend, cheese. This lunch is laughably simple and tasty, perfect for a sunny afternoon.

Todays lunch: Roasted vegetable salad and Salad with peach, mozzarella and parma ham (with crusty bread).

Roasted vegetable salad:

1 Red pepper
1 Yellow pepper
1 Round courgette (regular will do but since it was a bit unusual...)
3-4 Large tomatoes
drizzle of olive oil
a pinch of dried oregano
salt and pepper

Peach salad:

2 Peaches
3 Tomatoes (large)
1 Ball of mozzarella (the best you can afford)
3-4 Slices parma ham
Small hand full of rocket (or watercress or a mix of the both)
olive oil
balsamic vinegar
salt and pepper

bread:

Waitrose (or your local baker)
Butter (ditto or local dairy/deli)

Method:

Roasted vegetable salad:
cut all of the ingredients coarsely toss into a roasting pan. roast for 20mins at 200 degrees then tip into a bowl to serve

Peach salad:

coarsely chop the peach and tomatoes and place in a ball. Tear into this the mozzarella and parma ham then add the the rocket and mix. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic season with salt and pepper and serve.

Serve with you favourite bread and of course... good quality butter.
