Stone fruit salad
At your local farmers market, you can find the ingredients to make a spectacular fruit salad a reality. Stone fruit and almonds, salad greens, and honey all contribute to this tasty treat.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- A combination of 4 to 6 yellow peaches, white peaches, nectarines, plums, pluots or apriums
- Salad greens (baby gem lettuces, arugula or mixed greens)
- 1/4 cup almonds, slivered
- 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
Dressing
- 1 tablespoon champagne vinegar (it's worth the trouble to find this)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- Make a vertical incision all the way around the peaches and nectarines. Often, if they are ripe, the two halves come apart with a slight twist. Remove the pit. Depending on your personality type and that of your guests, cut all the fruit into irregular shapes and sizes or perfectly symmetrical cubes.
- Whisk the dressing ingredients together in a bowl.
- Toss the dressing with the fruit, almonds, and feta and serve on a bed of greens. This salad received rave reviews in my home and I'm sure it will in yours.
