Rocket, fresh nectarines and mozzarella with balsamic dressing

Method

1. Preheat a griddle pan until hot. Brush the cut side of the nectarines with a little olive oil. Place the nectarines cut side down on the griddle pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly charred.

2. Meanwhile, arrange the rocket salad on a large platter or 4 individual plates. Top with strips of the mozzerella cheese.

3. In a small bowl mix together the balsamic vinegar and extra-virgin olive oil. Set to one side.

3. To serve, arrange the warm griddled nectarines over the salad and cheese, scatter over the pine nuts and spoon over the balsamic dressing. Finish with lots of freshly ground black pepper and serve at once.
