Method

  1. Heat a griddle pan over a high heat. Brush the nectarines with a little oil, then griddle in batches for 1-2 mins each side until charred.
  2. For the dressing, smash the chopped basil to a rough paste with a pestle and mortar (or chop it very finely) and transfer to a bowl. Stir in the honey, mustard, lemon juice and lots of black pepper, then whisk in the oil.
  3. Toss the salad leaves with half the dressing, then tip onto a serving platter. Tear over the prosciutto and top with the griddled nectarine wedges. Scatter with the seeds and picked basil leaves. Drizzle over the remaining dressing to serve.

Tip: Make it veggie by swapping the prosciutto for torn mozzarella.
