Stone fruit—nectarines, peaches, and plums—are the stars of this juicy dessert, with figs, berries, and a sweet and citrusy dressing in supporting roles. This salad, high in antioxidants, also makes a delicious breakfast
Ingredients
- 2 nectarines
- 2 plums
- 2 peaches
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons apple balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon local honey
- Zest and juice of 1 lime (see “Quick Kitchen Nugget” in newsletter)
- 1 tablespoon chopped spearmint leaves
- 2 fresh figs, quartered
- 1 cup whole blackberries, rinsed and patted dry
Directions
Pit and section the stone fruit, then place in a large serving bowl. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, and honey. Whisk in the lime juice, zest, and mint. Pour the dressing over the fruit in the bowl and toss gently. Allow the juices and the dressing to meld for 30 minutes. Just before serving, arrange the figs and blackberries on top of the stone fruit.
