Pepper and Peach Salad by Isaac Correa
4 servings
20 minutes
This salad is a true celebration of flavors and textures, created from Isaac Correa's recipe. Sweet peaches and juicy roasted peppers form a harmonious duet, where the caramelized notes of the fruits contrast with the light smokiness of the vegetables. Fresh herbs—dill, parsley, and mint—add aromatic freshness, while sumac and lemon juice give the dish a subtle tanginess. The finishing touch is fried suluguni cheese, which adds richness and creaminess to the salad. This vibrant and summery salad is perfect as a standalone dish or as an exquisite appetizer for a main dinner. Its history roots back to American culinary traditions where bold ingredient combinations turn into culinary masterpieces.
