This nectarine avocado salad is something I honestly wasn’t sure about heading into dinner. But consider myself pleasantly surprised. This was the tastiest salad I’ve made in a while. Be sure to make this while stone fruits are still ripe for the season. And to be honest, this is now one of my most favorite summer recipes.
Not only was this easy and quick to make, this was 100% kid approved – family approved as a matter of fact. There weren’t any leftovers. My family of three went back for seconds and totally polished this off. This will be going into my permanent rotation. I can’t wait to make this again. The trick is to make sure you’re using the freshest and sweetest stone fruit you can get your hands on. This is my favorite time of year when stone fruits are ripe – my theory on this is because I’m a summer baby I grew accustom to the flavors when my mom was pregnant with me.
I hope you enjoy this as much as we did – I can’t stop thinking about how tasty this was. I can’t believe my husband, the professional pastry chef has been putting up with my healthier eating trend. Happy cooking!
