Grilled Nectarine Tomato Salad

September 22nd, 2008 · 1 Comment

I have been eagerly hoarding the last of the peaches and tomatoes at the market. On this final weekend of summer, I picked up lovely nectarines (Papa’s Orchard) and golden cherry tomatoes at the West End market. As is probably evident by now, I love the combination of peach and tomato. This time, I grilled the nectarines and made a sweet, tangy salad with the cherry tomatoes, basil, feta and a lemon vinaigrette. The smoky flavor of the nectarine is a great complement to these perfectly sweet cherry tomatoes and salty, fresh feta.

Recipe: Grilled Nectarine Tomato Salad

Ingredients:

  • 4 nectarines, halved and pits removed
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes
  • 6 large basil leaves, torn or sliced
  • 4 oz. sheep milk feta
  • vinaigrette – I mixed together lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper

Instructions: Brush the cut side of the nectarines with olive oil and grill over medium high heat until just charred. Remove from grill, chop, and toss with remaining ingredients. Makes 4 servings. Enjoy!
