Fruity Grilled Nectarine Salad
I love fruity salads and I made them a whole bunch of times! They are awesome for backyard barbecues, family gatherings and get together with friends!. Here is a delightful tasty salad loaded with grilled nectarine, fresh mozzarella cheese, raspberries and dried cherries with a homemade honey vinegar balsamic dressing! Yes a filling salad without being too heavy!
I thought of making this salad with burrata but unfortunately I couldn’t find burrata in Kinshasa, so I altered my choice and shifted back to mozzarella! What is burrata ? A fresh Italian cheese made from mozzarella and cream and my absolute new favorite! I order burrata salad whenever we dine out at “Limoncello” – a pretty Italian restaurant in Kinshasa with good food and great atmosphere! For a comfortable dining experience, keep this restaurant on your dining agenda.
Now back to the salad! If you think that nectarines/ peaches are delicious in salads, wait until they’re grilled – grilling will bring out the sweetness and natural juiciness in them…Pair them with fresh mozzarella, raspberries and dried cherries and enjoy the contrast of flavors!
A symphony of textures that tantalizes the palate! You will have one of summers more refreshing salads. Make it a full meal by serving it next to grilled meat or chicken, or serve it as a side and it could very well upstage the main course! You will love how fresh and crispy everything is in this salad!! Happe eating!!

Nectarines are my husband's favorite! I made balsamic vinegar from the grapes on our vine. This could be a "meant to be" recipe for us! Thanks for the recipe Hadia!
