    Marinated Nectarine Salad with Burrata

    August 23, 2016 by Jurga Leave a Comment

    This Marinated Nectarine Salad is the perfect showcase for fresh nectarines. The fruit is lightly pickled then tossed with the greens and soft cheese for a Gr8 starter or light main dish.

    This Marinated Nectarine Salad was part of Kyle and Joel's Night in Margaritaville Gr8 Dinner. It was the perfect complement to the rest of the menu.

    Nectarines are an all-time favorite summer fruit, low in calories, only about 60 calories for a medium nectarine, and full of anti-oxidants, minerals and vitamins.

    California grows over 95% of the nectarines produced in the United States; they are plentiful during the summer months, usually from April to August.

    In July, they are at the peak of freshness, fully ripened and fragrant, full of robust flavor for use in pies, cobblers or simply enjoyed fresh from the produce section of your local market.

    This is definitely a seasonal salad!

    In addition, nectarines are perfect in an easy-to-prepare, fresh and light salad that brightens any meal with their vibrant color and delicious flavor.

    The light pickling of the fruit creates a natural counterpoint to the sweetness and makes the nectarines even more succulent.

    And the pickling juices make a natural vinegar for the salad when tossed with the olive oil.

    Be sure to use a nicely flavored extra-virgin olive oil that you enjoy whenever you make your own salad dressing.
