Cooking Steps

Pickle shallots
1
  • Before starting, wash and dry all produce.
  • Peel, then cut shallot into 1/8-inch slices.
  • To a small pot, add shallots, vinegar, 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) water and 2 tsp (4 tsp) sugar. Season with salt. Bring to a simmer over medium-high.
  • Once simmering, cook for 1-2 min, stirring often, until sugar dissolves.
  • Remove from heat. Transfer shallots to a medium bowl, including pickling liquid. Place in the fridge to cool.
Cut and toast croutons
2
  • Halve ciabatta horizontally, then cut into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium.
  • When hot, add garlic spread, swirling pan for 30 sec, until melted.
  • Add ciabatta. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-8 min, stirring often, until golden and crisp. (NOTE: For 4 servings, cook croutons in 2 batches using half the garlic spread per batch.)
  • Transfer to a plate.
Prep
3
  • While croutons toast, thinly slice cucumber.
  • Cut tomato into 1/2-inch pieces. 
  • Cut four sections off nectarine, avoiding the pit. Thinly slice each section.
  • Cut or tear bocconcini into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • To a small bowl, add bocconcini, nectarine and 1 tsp (2 tsp) oil. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine. (TIP: We like to use extra virgin olive oil for this mixture!)
Make tomato vinaigrette
4
  • To a large bowl, add half the pesto, 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) pickling liquid and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
Finish and serve
5
  • Strain pickled shallots.
  • To bowl with vinaigrette, add tomatoes, cucumbers, pickled shallots and arugula and spinach mix. Toss to coat.
  • Add croutons. Toss to coat.
  • Divide salad between bowls.
  • Top with bocconcini-nectarine fruit mixture.
  • Drizzle remaining pesto over top.
