Summer salad with a fruity twist
Organic Ingredients
Mild, soft cheese
Corn
Red onion
Heirloom tomatoes
Peaches
Sherry vinegar
Olive oil
Salt and pepper
Herbs of your choice
Method:
Smear a healthy amount of some yummy spreadable cheese onto a platter. I use burrata, (a fresh Italian cheese made from mozzarella and cream. The outer shell is solid mozzarella, while the inside contains both mozzarella and cream, giving it an unusual, soft texture), but anything relatively mild will work. Toss raw corn kernels, thinly sliced red onion, heirloom tomato wedges, and sliced peaches in a mixture of sherry vinegar and olive oil. Season it with salt and pepper. Place vegetable mixture on top of cheese. Finish with chopped chives, tarragon, or other herbs. Give one final drizzling of olive oil. Serve.
