Summer Stone Fruit Salad

Jump to Recipe

I'm declaring this the week of no cooking. No cooking inside. I can't. It's like a bajillion degrees and I can't bring myself to turn on the stove or oven. So I'll be grilling and eating copious amounts of this Summer Stone Fruit Salad until I literally turn into a peach. Sticking with the no cooking inside theme, this salad is a perfect match for my grilled ribeye.

Why I Love This Recipe

There are 2 types of fruit that I go crazy for. 1: cherries. I eat them by the pound on a daily basis for their short but sweet season. And 2: stone fruit. I'm legit that crazy girl you see running around at the farmers market buying ALL THE STONE FRUIT and then getting home and trying to figure out how to eat it all before it goes bad. I can't be stopped.

Load them up with heirloom tomatoes, some salty crumbled feta, fresh herbs and a lemon shallot vinaigrette that you'll want to drink by itself. It serves a crowd and is perfect on the side of some grilled steaks, chicken, salmon, burgers or skewers!
