Five Spice peach and raspberry salad

 From Ottelenghi Simple

The peaches were delicious in this dressing.  Didn't taste the raspberries much.  Very simple to prepare.  

I had a lot of basil, so I tried it ...  skip it!  Maybe mint?  Or just the way it is.

The recipe recommends peaches that are not too ripe so the salad is not TOO sweet.  Works well at a barbecue.  Serves 4 as a side

INGREDIENTS:

1.5 Tbsp cider vinegar

1 tsp maple syrup

1/4 tsp Chinse 5-spice powder

1 Tbsp olive oil

1 shallot, thinly sliced

salt

3.5 oz raspberries

3 firm peaches, pits removed, 1/4 inch wedges (2 cups)

2 cups watercress

1/4 head radicchio, cut into 3/4 inch slices (2 cups)

DIRECTIONS:

1) In a large bowl, mix the vinegar, maple syrup, 5-spice, oil and shallot with a rounded 1/4 tsp salt.  

2) Add the berries, lightly crushing them with the back of a fork, then add the peaches, watercress, and radicchio.  Mix well and serve.
