Grilled Nectarine and Feta Salad

This nectarine and feta salad is bursting with summer flavour. It is incredibly easy to make and vegetarian.

Ingredients:

Salad:

• 2 medium nectarines (ripe, but not too soft)

• 1Tbsp olive oil

• 2 medium tomatoes, sliced

• 4 cups rocket

• 1 round of feta cheese

• Handful fresh basil

Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing:

• ¼ cup olive oil

• 2Tbsp balsamic vinegar

• ½ a lemon, juice only

• 1tsp garlic powder

• Salt + pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Make the balsamic vinaigrette by adding all the ingredients together in a small bowl and mix together. Combine well. Adjust salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.

2. Wash and pat dry nectarines. Slice each nectarine into 8 even pieces.

Brush each side of each nectarine slice with a little bit of olive oil ( this helps prevent it from sticking to the pan)

1. Heat grill to medium. Place the nectarine slices on the grill. Let the slices sit, for 4 minutes or until grill marks start to form. Flip each slice and repeat for another 4 minutes on the other side.

2. Plate salad with rocket, sliced tomatoes and grilled nectarines.

3. Gently cut the feta into pieces and arrange on salad. Sprinkle chopped basil over the top and add dressing.

4. Toss to combine and serve!
