Nectarine, Strawberry, & Feta Salad_1

This savory/sweet salad is the easiest, laziest, most delicious way to use up extra fruit ever invented. We know pairing balsamic vinegar with fruit might be hard to wrap your head around, but hey, you like wine right?

A Few Notes:

  • Pro tip: Stack the basil leaves on top of each other (stems facing you), roll them together tightly, and then chop in small sections. Unroll and you'll have perfect, thin strips.
  • We also like this recipe with peaches swapped out for the nectarines
  • If you happen to have any fancy balsamic vinegars lying around, this is the place to use them. We especially love this with pomegranate balsamic.
