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.
