Grilled Nectarine & Feta Salad

With  Watercress, Tomato and Red Onion drizzled with Watercress Pesto

Serves 1

 Ingredients:

-  1 nectarine (or peach)

-  Feta cheese

-  85g watercress

-  1 large tomato

-  ½ red onion

-  Runny pesto, store bought thinned with oil or home made

 

If you are making your own pesto, you can blitz together some roughly chopped watercress, olive oil, crushed nuts and grated hard cheese. Use the oil to reach your desired consistency and season to taste.

Method:

  1. Quarter the nectarines and in a hot griddle pan, lay them on one side. Try not to move them until it’s time to flip them over – around a minute on each side should do.

  2. Chop the tomato and red onion. If you are using homemade pesto, make it now.

  3. Toss the tomato, watercress and onion together before tipping it on to a plate. Top with your grilled nectarine quarters and crumble some feta over that. Drizzle everything with lashings of pesto!
