Confit tomato, grilled peach and stracciatella salad

5.00

This salad is full of sweet summery flavours and contrasting textures thanks to the silky confit tomatoes, charred peaches and crunchy sourdough croutons. We’ve added a sweet-sharp tarragon vinaigrette, which compliments the fruits and creamy stracciatella cheese.
