Tomato Nectarine Salad ingredients<\/h2>\n

As simple as this tomato salad recipe is, it packs loads of flavor thanks to fresh seasonal produce, basil and a dressing made with crumbled feta, garlic and oregano.<\/p>\n

Tomatoes –<\/strong> I like to use a mix of heirloom tomatoes. They all have their own flavour profile, level of sweetness and acidity. Heavy, ripe Beefsteak are a great choice as are vine-ripened cherry tomatoes as well as mini-roma and heirloom varieties in assorted colours. You need a total of 650 g for this recipe so feel free to play around with the mix.<\/p>\n

Nectarines –<\/strong> I prefer yellow-fleshed nectarines. White nectarines are sweeter, more floral while on the other hand yellow nectarines are slightly tangier with more acidity and less sugar.<\/p>\n

Cucumber –<\/strong> Hydrating, crisp and refreshing. Thin-skinned mini cucumbers are a great choice for this summer salad.<\/p>\n

Avocado –<\/strong> A good avocado adds a soft yet firm textures with a creamy finish which is a great complement to any salad. Plus it adds some good fats into your diet.<\/p>\n

Red onion –<\/strong> Add a pop of color, crisp texture, and savoury bite.<\/p>\n

Fresh herbs –<\/strong> I like to use fresh basil, buy you could also add a little fresh mint or parsley if you like.<\/p>\n

Feta – Greek feta adds a salty, tangy and creamy flavour that pairs well with the other ingredients. Crumbling it into the dressing gives it a marinated flavour. I use a feta made with 75% sheep’s milk and 25% goats milk.<\/p>\n

Oregano \u2014<\/strong> another key salad dressing ingredient, thanks to its bold, aromatic flavour. Use a high quality dried spice or 1 tablespoon of fresh leaves.<\/p>\n

What to serve with this summer salad<\/h2>\n

Not only is this a great salad for BBQs, but it\u2019s also great when you want to serve a quick meal without any cooking.<\/p>\n
