This sweet-tart salad is a fabulous end-of-summer side dish. Inspired by a recipe from my cousin.

Ingredients

2 medium heirloom tomatoes (or one large one)
2 nectarines, pitted
1 cucumber, peeled
1 tbsp chopped fresh basil
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1 tsp chopped fresh mint
2 tbsp walnut oil (use olive oil as a substitution)
1 tbsp fresh lime juice
Kosher salt and pepper, to taste
1 clove garlic, minced

Steps

1

Dice the tomatoes, nectarines and cucumber into like-sized pieces. I prefer mine to be roughly 1/2 inch, but larger is good too.
2

In a large bowl, stir together the tomatoes, nectarines, cucumbers, basil, parsley and mint. Set aside.
3

In a small bowl, whisk together the walnut oil, lime juice, salt, pepper and garlic.
4

Pour the vinaigrette mixture over the tomato mixture and stir well.
5

Serve immediately, or chill until ready to serve.
