Summer Nectarine Salad

Summer Nectarine Salad

Ok, I’m obsessed! This salad has been my go-to this summer to make for all of our family bbq’s and everyone loves it! Its so fresh and has such simple but good ingredients. I love the sweetness of the nectarines and the little kick from the shallots. Not to mention, the creamy chèvre that absolutely makes it! Garnish it with some fresh basil leaves and you are left with a work of art. I highly recommend you try it out before summer is over. It would make a beautiful addition to your dinner party whether it’s an appetizer or a side.

Prep time: 10 MinTotal time: 10 Min

Ingredients

For the salad:

• *4 cups sliced nectarines
• 2 cups sliced cucumber half-moons
• 1/2 cup creamy crumbled chèvre
• 1/4 cup sliced shallots
• 1/4 cup basil leaves, sliced

For the Vinaigrette:

• 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

• salt and pepper, to taste

Notes

*Make sure your nectarines are firm. If they are squishy at all then they will be too hard to slice from the pit.
