Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 black plums, halved, pitted, chopped
1/2 c extra-virgin olive oil
4 tsp plum vinegar or red wine vinegar
kosher salt
black pepper, freshly ground
12 c mixed greens, lightly packed (such as arugula and frisee)
4 nectarines, halved, pitted, cut into eighths
8 oz firm blue cheese, sliced
1/2 c almonds
3/4 c water
2 Tbsp water

Steps:

  • 1. Bring plums and 3/4 cup water to a boil in a small saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-high and simmer, stirring occasionally and mashing the plums with the back of a spoon, until plums have completely broken down, about 15 minutes.
  • 2. Pour plum mixture through a fine-mesh sieve set over a small bowl, pressing on the solids to extract as much puree as possible; discard solids in sieve. Let puree cool.
  • 3. Add oil, vinegar, and 2 tablespoons water to the puree; whisk to blend. Season dressing to taste with salt and pepper. (Dressing can be made 1 week ahead. Cover and chill)
  • 4. Divide the greens among plates. Scatter nectarines, cheese, and almonds over, dividing equally, and drizzle some of the dressing over. Season with salt and pepper.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I had to omit the walnuts from this recipe. It was still delicious!

I added some grilled chicken to this salad for a heartier meal. It was a great way to use up leftover chicken.

I'm not a big fan of blue cheese, so I used feta cheese instead. It was still delicious!

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred a dressing with a bit more acidity to balance out the sweetness of the fruit.

The plum vinaigrette was a standout element of this salad. It was light and flavorful, with a nice balance of sweetness and acidity. It really elevated the salad and brought all the flavors together.
