Taste of Sunshine Salad

August 24, 2014 Leave a Comment

nectarines and heritage tomatoes

Heirloom tomatoes, in all their higgledy-piggledy beauty of colours, and sun-kissed nectarines with their golden-fleshed (or demure white-fleshed) beauty, encapsulate for me the height of summer. So how about giving them a love match? 

I’ve done precisely that with the remains of my heirloom tomato haul and some bargain yellow-fleshed nectarine farmer’s market find. They mix and match in terms of flavour magnificiently but I found just a hint of the saltiness and piquancy of just a sprinkling of crumbled feta lifted them into the luxury and unforgettable class. A simple dressing of fat-free dressing with a little chopped basil would suffice for this light salad pairing or starter dish but, with the feta as inspiration, I drizzled mine with some tzatziki dressing. The cool yogurt, mint and cucumber dressing or dip can be made from scratch very easily or you can buy a good ready-prepared one for speed.

HEIGHT OF SUMMER SALAD 014

1 large ripe nectarine

100 g/4 oz tomatoes, I used a selection of heirloom ones

METHOD

1.  Halve the nectarine, remove and discard the stone then slice the flesh into bite-sized pieces or chop if preferred.

2.  Chop or slice the tomatoes according to size and place on a serving plate with the nectarines.

3.  Crumble the feta and sprinkle over the salad.
