GRILLED PEACH SALAD WITH TOASTED PISTACHIOS

INGREDIENTS

4 to 6 ripe peaches

Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling

3 cups (750 mL) watercress leaves

8 ounces (225 g) medium-size fresh mozzarella balls, sliced

⅓ cup (75 mL) pistachios, toasted and chopped

Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

¼ teaspoon (1 mL) red pepper flakes (optional)

DIRECTIONS

Heat a grill or grill pan to medium heat. Slice the peaches into segments and drizzle with olive oil and a few pinches of salt. Grill for 1 to 2 minutes per side, or until char marks form.

Remove from the heat and assemble the salad with the watercress, mozzarella slices, peaches, pistachios, and red pepper flakes, if using. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil.

If using a grill pan, it’s handy to use a nonstick pan for this one.
