2Large peaches
2tbspExtra virgin olive oil
2Packed cups of rocket
1.5tbspBalsamic vinegar
1tbspChopped fresh rosemary
1/2a large red onion
1/4cup of almonds, chopped
A generous handful of green beans
Sea salt
Black pepper
Instructions
Remove the tough ends from the green beans and bring a pan of salted water to the boil.
Add the beans to the boiling water and cook for 4-6 minutes until tender and slightly crisp. Drain and reserve to one side.
While the beans are cooking you can prepare the peaches. Peel and slice the peaches into thick wedges and add to a mixing bowl.
Finely chop one tablespoon of fresh rosemary and add to the bowl with the peaches along with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of balsamic. Toss to combine, ensuring the peach slices are evenly coated in the mixture. Leave to one side to marinade for 15 minutes.
While the peaches are marinating, add the chopped almonds to a dry frying pan over a low heat. Toast gently for 4 minutes then remove from the heat.
Heat a grill to high and arrange the marinated peaches across a foil covered grill tray. Brush over any remaining marinade.
Grill the peach slices for 3 minutes until the oil and balsamic begins to bubble.
Add the onion to a large serving bowl along with the cooked green beans and rocket. Season to taste and toss to combine.
Add the grilled peaches to the bowl, gently stirring them through.
Drizzle the salad with the remaining olive oil and balsamic vinegar and scatter with the toasted almonds to serve.
