"Stone fruit season is in full swing now and I feel like I have been eating peaches every day. But when summer gives you the best, sweetest fruit you just have to make the most of it. So taking into account my current peach obsession, hot weather outside and hence lack of motivation to cook, for lunch I made a refreshing, loaded with goodness salad with grilled peaches. I don’t know about you, but I love the combination of fruit and veg in a salad and if you add cheese to it 👌! This summer classic is something I could live on – the sweetness of grilled peaches works wonderfully with creamy mozzarella, sharp mint, crunchy pistachios and slightly tart dressing. It is really simple, takes no time to make and is super crave-able! I think I will continue eating it until all the peaches run out."
