Salumi with Peaches and Watercress

This vibrant salumi salad with peaches and watercress is a sophisticated choice for a light summer lunch or an effortless dinner party starter. The recipe celebrates the classic Italian pairing of salty cured meats with sweet seasonal fruit. By using a variety of salumi, such as fennel-scented finocchiona and spicy pepperoni, you create a complex flavour profile that is beautifully balanced by the acidity of orange and lemon juice.

As a dairy-free friendly dish that can be easily adapted, this platter relies on the quality of its fresh ingredients. The peppery bite of the fresh watercress and the cooling notes of mint and basil provide a refreshing contrast to the rich charcuterie. Serve this colourful assembly with some crusty sourdough or focaccia to mop up the citrus-infused olive oil dressing.
