Today is the first day of summer and to celebrate this day I decided to cook a lovely recipe with ingredients that are in season and peaches and gem lettuce are so lovely at the moment and if grilled, it intensifies their flavour. I know there are many similar recipes like this, but I made it my own by making a tomatillo, also known as Mexican husk tomato, salsa dressing.
I really hope you like this recipe, if you try it, send me a quick message letting me know your thoughts about it!

Instructions
- Grilled the gem lettuce, peaches and place on a big platter.Scatter the goat cheese, some fresh coriander and fresh mint over the top.
- To make the dressing. Place the tomatillos, jalapeño, onion, some coriander, juice of lime and blend, not for long, so you still have some texture in the salsa. Add 1/4 cup rapeseed oil and stir. Add salt and pepper to taste.Pour the dressing over the salad.

Tips
- I bought my tomatillos in Borough Market, but if you can’t find any fresh tomatillos, use some green salsa from La Costeña
Listo!
