“Sweet and juicy sun-kissed peaches go so well with salty ham and cheese in this easy dish
full of colour and texture,” says Spanish chef and cookbook author Omar Allibhoy, who
created this Peach, Manchego and Serrano Ham Salad. “I’ve used yellow peaches (my mum’s
favourite!), which are super sweet and make a lovely contrast to the ham and red onion, but
other types work just as well.”Time and servings
