Description
A vibrant and refreshing summer fruit salad featuring a variety of stone fruits and berries, perfect for gatherings or self-indulgence.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4–6 cups sliced stone fruit of choice (cherries, peaches, plums, apricots, nectarines, etc.)
- 2 cups blueberries
- 2 cups blackberries
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tsp fresh thyme, finely chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the stone fruit: Begin by slicing all your chosen stone fruits thinly. If you’re using cherries, make sure you remove the pits before slicing to avoid any unpleasant surprises!
- Mix the fruits together: Toss all the prepared fruit into a large mixing bowl. It’s like a colorful canvas waiting to be painted with flavor.
- Create the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, a pinch of salt, and fresh thyme. This dressing will bring everything together beautifully!
- Combine and serve: Pour the dressing over the fruit and gently toss to ensure each piece is coated. You can dig in right away or chill it in the refrigerator for about an hour for a cooler treat.
Notes
For best flavor, chill the salad for an hour. Enjoy it fresh; freezing is not recommended as it alters the texture.
