Nectarine & Burrata Salad

Start by making the croutons. Grill (or toast) the slices of bread until golden.

Once toasted and while still hot, rub the halved garlic cloves over each side, then use a sharp knife to slice the bread into cubes.

Make the dressing by combining all the ingredients in a small bowl or mug and whisk together with a fork.

Toss the rocket and three-quarters of the basil together in a serving dish and set aside until you’re ready to assemble the salad.

Place a griddle pan or large non-stick frying pan over a high heat. Put the nectarine wedges into a bowl, drizzle over the olive oil and use your hands to lightly coat the fruit in the oil.

Once the pan is hot, place the nectarines cut side down in the pan. Cook for 2 minutes on each side until golden and charred.

To assemble the salad, lay the griddled fruit over the rocket and basil, then use your hands to tear over the burrata. Scatter over the croutons and then drizzle over dressing.

Finish with a grind of black pepper, a generous pinch of salt, the chilli flakes (if using) and the remaining basil leaves.
