Peachy keen

Peaches are in season–hallelujah! Why the excitement? I’ve anxiously been waiting for weeks to pick up a ripe batch of this fuzzy fruit as I’ve been seriously craving this salad. It’s from Jamie Oliver–I can’t find the exact recipe but you essentially just combine all of the ingredients and whisk up some balsalmic or lemon vinaigrette. Easy peasy, as Jamie would say.
The ingredients you need: peaches (sweet!), prosciutto (salty!), mint (adds a fresh, unexpected flavour), arugula (I adore this peppery green) and bocconcini (cheese makes everything better).
If you prefer your peaches in a more dessert-y form, you may enjoy this recipe for buttered crepes with caramel Ontario peaches from chef Marc Picone. I’m a savoury-brunch kinda girl myself, but with a side of bacon, I could probably be convinced to eat a plate of these crepes. :)
