Stone Fruit, Tomato and Cucumber Salad

from simplyrecipes.com

Ingredients:

  • 2 small peaches, pitted and diced
  • 2 large plums, pitted and diced
  • 1 stalk celery, sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup cherries, pitted and halved
  • 1/2 English cucumber, diced
  • 1/4 serrano pepper, very thinly sliced, or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, plus more to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus more to taste
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint or chives, or a combination of both

Directions:

  1. In a large bowl, combine the peaches, plums, celery, tomatoes, cherries, cucumber, and serrano pepper.
  2. Season with salt and black pepper and gently stir to combine. Set aside for 5 to 10 minutes. The salt will start to pull juices from the fruit and vegetables.
  3. Drizzle in the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and add the herbs. Stir to combine. Taste and adjust for seasoning with additional salt, black pepper, and olive oil, if necessary.
  4. Spoon onto a serving plate and garnish with herb leaves.
  5. Serve immediately & enjoy!
